This review summarizes recent work on manufacturing of different types of composites. There is a great need to engineer multi-phase (i.e., composite) materials that combine the advantages exhibited by each component of the material. The discussion concentrates on preparation of composites contain different types of nanoparticles (3D fillers, nanofibers, nanotubes, and plate-like filler) with polymer matrices. Special attention is paid to the preparation of nanocomposites with individual (non-aggregated) nanoparticles because dispersion of nanofillers is a key problem in nanotechnology industrialization. Several approaches that may be applied to overcome this problem will be described in this review.
