Polymer nanocomposites have garnered significant attention due to their potential to enhance the thermal stability of conventional polymer materials. By incorporating nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and clay nanoparticles, the thermal stability of polymer matrices can be significantly improved. This study provides a concise review of recent advancements in polymer nanocomposites, focusing on their improved thermal properties. The paper explores various nanofiller types, their interactions with polymer matrices, and the resulting effects on thermal stability. Experimental data highlights key improvements in thermal resistance, degradation temperature, and overall performance. These developments offer significant promise for industries requiring thermally stable materials, such as aerospace, electronics, and automotive sectors.
