The capacity of a country to
saddle nature and its capacity to adapt up to the difficulties postured by it
is dictated by its total learning of materials and
its capacity to create and deliver them for different applications.
Propelled Materials are at the core of numerous innovative
improvements that touch our lives. Electronic materials for
correspondence and data innovation, optical filaments, laser strands
sensors for the insightful condition,
vitality materials for sustainable power source and
condition, light combinations for better
transportation, materials for key applications and that's just the
beginning.
The medieval ages where stone, bronze, steel was
used have now led to the growth of Ceramics, Minerals from
where Metallurgy field aroused. Physics, Chemistry,thermodynamics and
several other fields of science have researched metals, alloys,
silica and carbon nanomaterial. Material Science has now
revolutionized from metals and alloys
to semiconductors, plastics, biomaterial, rubbers, polymers, magnetic materials, medicinal
implant materials, nanomaterialetc. Smart
structures are devices composed of smart materials capable of
sensing stimuli, responding to it and reverting to its original state after the
stimuli are removed. Self-Healing Materials, Magnetocaloric and thermoelectric materials, Polycaprolactone are emerging smart structures.
Smart structures have the ability to resist natural calamities.
Several materials like LiTraCon, Silicon, Aerogels, Graphene,
Fullerene, Metamaterials, Quantum Dots and
Lithium-Ion Batteries have been emerging. These emerging
smart materials have found potential applications
in health, aerospace, automotive industry etc.
