Abstract

Magnetic nanocomposites are among the most significant categories of materials because they have excellent magnetic, thermal, and mechanical characteristics for use in various professions. The progress made in the last half decade has stemmed from the preparation of new nanocomposites that display enhanced performance in healthcare, environmental treatment, the energy industry, and electronics. Various synthesis methods for producing M-TiO2 have been enhanced effectively, including co-precipitation, sol-gel processes, and hydrothermal synthesis to possess the required structural and functional characteristics. Magnetic nanoparticles, which have been approved for targeted drug delivery combined with polymers, ceramics, and metal matrices, offer expanded functionality in applications such as MRI and catalytic systems. Nevertheless, some problems of the approach include the problems of scalability, stability, and environmental impact that may require further inquiries. In this chapter, we focus on the recent progress, including computational modeling, artificial intelligence, and green chemistry. The last one is devoted to present trends, where the roles of bioinspired and hybrid magnetic nanocomposites in shaping future technologies are described.
