Abstract This chapter discusses the significance of nano-enabled multifunctional materials for aerospace applications. Several studies of these materials report research breakthroughs on the in situ formation of nanostructures and hierarchical structures, and their effects on the improvement of both functional and structural properties for space and aircraft applications such as the EMI shielding, thermal, electrical and opto-magnetic properties, fracture toughness and strength. The materials discussed here relate mostly to polymers.
