Abstract: This work provides an overview of recent advances in the polymer nanocomposites research. The key research opportunities and challenges in the development of carbon nanotube graphene, interfacial bonding strength in structural and functional nanocomposites are addressed in the context of fiber reinforced polymer composites. The state of knowledge in mechanical and physical properties of polymer nanocomposite is presented with a particular emphasis on buckypaper enabled polymer nanocomposites, electrically and optically functional nanocomposites, smart and intelligent nanocomposites, and functional and multifunctional nanocomposites. Critical issues in the nanocomposites research and applications are discussed.

Key words: composite, functional material, nano-material, polymer
