Nanocomposite

A nanocomposite is like a cake with really tiny sprinkles in it. The cake is made up of different ingredients, like flour and sugar, and the sprinkles are tiny particles that are mixed in. The sprinkles are so small that you can't even see them with your eyes, but they make the cake stronger and more durable. In the same way, a nanocomposite is a material made up of tiny particles that are mixed in with other materials, like plastic or metal. These particles are so small that they are measured in nanometers, which is a really, really small size. The tiny particles can make the material stronger, more durable, and lighter. Scientists and engineers use nanocomposites to make things like airplane parts, car frames, and even tennis rackets!
