TL;DR: In this paper, the surface of inorganic nanoparticles is modified to improve the interfacial interactions between the inorganic particles and the polymer matrix, which improves the properties of polymeric composites.

TL;DR: In this paper, surface modification based on polymer grafting, coupling agents, acetylation and cationic modification was used in order to improve compatibility and homogeneous dispersion within polymer matrices.

TL;DR: The magnetic polymer nanocomposites are of particular interest because of the combination of excellent magnetic properties, stability, and good biocompatibility as discussed by the authors, and they have been exploited for in vivo imaging, as superparamagnetic or negative contrast agents, drug carriers, heavy metal adsorbents and magnetically recoverable photocatalysts for degradation of organic pollutants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of poisonous element "arsenic" from drinking water by nanoscale magnetite coated sand was described, and the removal efficiency of newly formed adsorbent was studied by varying various parameters, for example, contact time, pH, adorbent dosage and initial As(V) concentration.

TL;DR: The obtained adsorbent can be used to overcome the problem of water filtration in rural areas as the nano-magnetite is coated on the sand and can easily be removed by a simple filTration process.
