Abstract :
In recent years, much effort has been devoted to the effects associated with the presence of nanostructures in bulk materials. Since the introduction of the concept of "Nanodielectrics", various research activities concurred to confirm that these new materials form a special class of composites showing potential. In this contribution, the authors share their thoughts about the concept that nanodielectrics are shaped and controlled at the molecular level. Some elementary principles will be introduced and discussed.
