In the last twenty years, high nanofiller-content nanocomposites have seen a surge in interest within the research community owing to the interesting properties it offers. However, development of such nanocomposites has always been difficult due to the affinity of nanofillers to aggregate. But recently, novel and innovative ideas have been proposed to achieve fast and scalable processing techniques which yield homogenous and well oriented nanocomposite structures with excellent mechanical, electrical and flame-retardant properties. In the first chapter of this thesis, a detailed review of recent progress in high filler content nanocomposites will be presented along with their novel methodologies and various kinds of properties. This review will then serve as foundation for chapter 2, where a high filler content nanocomposite coating on polyurethane foams is developed through a new method called single-dip coating. The foams are then characterized and tested to evaluate their thermal stability, mechanical behavior and flame-retardant properties.
