Abstract : The discovery of graphene, a well-known two dimensional material (2D) and its subsequent utility has extended the significance of other 2D materials. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), an important member of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) is having a structure analoguos to graphene. The excellent electronic, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of MoS2 makes it a remarkable material in almost all these areas. Currently, MoS2 based polymer nanocomposites have been gaining research interest owing to the outstanding reinforcement ability of nanosized MoS2. In this review, we intend to cast light on the various synthesis and functionalization methods of MoS2 nanosheets. We have also consolidated the various polymer/MoS2 nanocomposites, their applications and future proepectives in a comprehensive way.
