Abstract
Polymer-metal nanocomposites are a fascinating class of materials that synergize the distinct properties of polymers and metals. Incorporating metal nanofillers into polymer matrices significantly enhances electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability through intricate chemical interactions. This review provides an in-depth understanding of current and emerging fabrication techniques for polymer-metal nanocomposite films, with a particular focus on advanced chemical mechanisms and the resulting material properties. By highlighting state-of-the-art innovations, this review distinguishes itself from the existing literature and explores the potential of these nanocomposites in advanced technological applications.
