Conference Highlights
Nanostructures deal
with objects and structures that are in the 1—100 nm range. In many
materials, atoms or molecules cluster together to form objects at the
nanoscale. This leads to interesting electromagnetic, optical
and mechanical properties. The term 'nanostructure' is often used when
referring to magnetic technology and also applied in case of advanced materials.
Microstructure is defined as the structure of a prepared surface or
thin foil of material as revealed by a microscope above 25×
magnification. It deals with objects from 100 nm to a few cm. Most of
the traditional materials (such as metals and ceramics) are micro
structured. Macrostructure is
the appearance of a material in the scale millimeters to meters—it is
the structure of the material as seen with the naked eye. Atomic structure
deals with the atoms of the materials and how they are arranged to
give structure of molecules, crystalline solids, their characterization,
instrumentation
etc., and the length scales involved are in angstroms (0.1 nm). The way
in which the atoms and molecules are bonded and arranged is fundamental
to studying the properties and behavior of any material.
Crystallography is the science that examines the arrangement of atoms in
crystalline solids. Crystallography is very much useful for materials
scientists. Polymers display varying degrees of crystallinity and many are completely non-crystalline. Glass, some ceramics, and many natural and inorganic materials
are amorphous, not possessing any long-range order in their atomic
nuclei. Allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure are termed
as Carbon nanotubes (CNTs). These carbon molecules have unusual
properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology.
Material science and engineering, also commonly known as materials science, encompasses the science, chemical engineering
and chemical technology of materials and is an integrative subject
which gives an idea about the discovery and design of new materials. It
deals with studying materials through the materials paradigm
(synthesis, structure, properties, and performance). In accordance with
chronology, materials are segregated into natural and synthetic and
they in turn are divided into inorganic, organic, bulk, micro scale and Nanoparticles.
These various materials exhibit different properties according to their
nature. This leads to the advancement in the field of electronics and
photonics through basic, potentially transformative materials science research.
Energy materials like
photovoltaic cells help in sustaining energy resources. Mining and
metallurgical studies involve in the manufacturing processes which
convert raw materials into useful products adapted to human needs. It
deals with materials-processing, their properties, and their selection
and application. Computational Materials Science has
a huge scope and calls for hierarchical and multi-scale methods
involving modelling, simulation and first-principle calculations on all
materials classes.
Optimization processes are particle packing problems, such as how
densely hard particles can fill a volume; topology optimization method
can be used to determine material microstructures with optimized or
targeted properties and the generation of realizations of random
heterogeneous materials with specified but limited microstructural
information. A Tunable material shows a variable response to an incident electromagnetic wave with the combination of a metamaterial. Surface science
is the study of physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the
interface of two phases along with solid–liquid interfaces, solid–gas
interfaces, solid–vacuum interfaces, and liquid–gas interfaces. It is
closely related to study of surface, which targets at modifying the
chemical composition of a surface by incorporation of selected elements
or functional groups that produce various desired effects or
improvements in the properties of the surface or interface. Biomedical materials are prepared from tissue engineering for
the compatibility in the human body. Optoelectronics is the study and
application of electronic devices that source, detect and control light,
usually considered as a sub-field of photonics. These devices are
electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducers, or
instruments that use such devices in their operation. It is based on the
quantum mechanical effects of light on electronic materials,
especially semiconductors, occasionally in the presence of electric
fields. Superconductivity is a phenomenon of exactly zero electrical
resistance and expulsion of magnetic fields occurring in certain
materials when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature. Molecular electronics is
the study and application of molecular building blocks for the
fabrication of electronic materials. wing to their extraordinary thermal
conductivity and mechanical and electrical technologies, carbon
nanotubes act as additives to various structural materials.
The essence of Materials Chemistry can
be observed in various fields i.e., organic, inorganic, analytical,
physical, organometallic, cosmetic, petro and forensic studies. Organic chemistry provides
organic polymers for use in structures, films, fibres, coatings, and so
on. It provides materials with complex functionality, a bridge between materials science and medicine and provides a sophisticated synthetic entry into nanomaterial. Inorganic chemistry deals
with the structure, properties, and reactions of molecules that do not
contain carbon, such as metals. It helps us to understand the behaviour
and the characteristics of inorganic materials which can be altered,
separated, or used in products, such as ceramics and superconductors. Analytical chemistry determines
the structure, composition, and nature of substances, by identifying
and analysing their various elements or compounds. It also gives idea
about relationships and interactions between the parts of compounds. It
has a wide range of applications, like food safety, Nano biopharmaceuticals, and pollution control. The analytical role of materials chemistry includes the materials science lab equipment associated with materials science experiments. The basic characteristics of how matter behaves on a molecular and atomic level and how chemical reactions occur are physical chemistry.
Based on the inferences, new theories are developed, such as how
complex structures are formed and develop potential uses for new
materials correlating materials chemistry. Study of chemical compounds
containing at least one bond between a carbon atom of an organic
compound and a metal, including alkaline, alkaline earth, transition
metal, and other cases is Organometallic chemistry. Materials that work physiologically within the skin or aid in protecting the skin from insult form Cosmetic chemistry. Petro chemistry deals with the transformation of crude oil (petroleum) and natural gas into useful products or raw materials. Forensic chemistry is the application of chemistry and its subfield, forensic toxicology, in a legal setting. Materials science and pharmaceutical chemistry are disciplines at the intersection of chemistry, especially synthetic organic chemistry, and pharmacology and various other biological specialties, where they are involved with design, electrochemical synthesis and
development for market of pharmaceutical agents, or bio-active
molecules (drugs). These chemical synthetic methods that make it
possible to prepare a large number (tens to thousands or even millions)
of compounds in a single process come under the concept of Combinatorial chemistry.
Certain principles are there to synthesize a novel material
: to develop an understanding of different materials systems, to know
the origins of physical, chemical, and functional properties of
different materials, to study basic principles of synthesis and characterization of materials, to understand the origins of functional responses of materials and
also the role of materials in science, industry, and technology. Often a
pure substance needs to be isolated from a mixture or after chemical
reactions (which often give mixtures of chemical substances). From
ores, extraction can be done by means of oxidation catalysis and
reduction whereas in laboratory by techniques like Hydraulic Washing,
Magnetic Separation, Froth Floatation Method, Leaching and so on.
A ceramic is a non-metallic material composed of inorganic molecules,
generally prepared by heating a powder or slurry and glassy materials
are hard, brittle, and not crystalline which results in optical
transparency. Solid state chemistry, also sometimes referred to as materials chemistry is
the study of the synthesis, structure, and properties of solid phase
materials, particularly, but not exclusively of, non-molecular solids.
Thus it has a strong overlap with solid-state physics, mineralogy, crystallography, ceramics, metallurgy, thermodynamics, materials science and electronics with a focus on the synthesis of novel materials and their characterization. Mixtures of metallic materials are
called alloys, are more commonly used than the pure metal. By alloying,
some of the key properties of metals can be altered. Composite materials are
mixtures of two or more bonded materials. The design and synthesis of
these materials with different approaches can be done here.
Various techniques related to the synthesis of materials to form useful
chemical substances constitute the field of analytical study. Instrumental analysis mainly helps us to know the assessment of purity, their chemical composition,
structure and function. Analysis of chemical compounds was done to
produce results for “what chemicals are present, what are their
characteristics and in what quantities are they present?” Basic methods
rely on important factors like sample preparation, accuracy, precision
and cleanliness. Calibration curves help in the calculation of proper quantities of sample used and also detect the synthesized novel compounds. Certain equipment like electron microscopes, spectrometers, diffractive instruments and so on was employed in the analytical process of a particular synthesis. Scanning electron microscope
(SEM) helps in microstructural analysis, fault diagnosis, imaging and
elemental analysis of solid materials. Microscopes mostly deal with the
same kind of characteristics during the process of synthesis. Mass spectrometer
will be majorly availed to detect the masses of individual species
within a sample. X-ray diffraction (XRD) deals with the mineralogical
analysis of solid materials for phase determination. Rutherford backscattering (RBS) is the major instrument used in the analysis related to the field of materials science and chemistry.
Polymer chemistry is
a multidisciplinary science that deals with the chemical synthesis and
chemical properties of polymers which were considered as macromolecules.
Polymers describe the bulk properties of polymer materials and belong
to the field of polymer physics as a subfield of physics. Polymers are
of two types-natural ( e.g., rubber, amber ), synthetic ( e.g.,
polyethylene, nylon, PVC ). Polymerization is
the process of combining many small molecules known as monomers into a
covalently bonded chain or network. General methods of synthesis include
Biological synthesis and modification of natural polymers. Laboratory research is
generally divided into two categories, step-growth polymerization and
chain-growth polymerization. Polymers are characterized by the presence
of monomer units and microstructures and they can be determined by means
of many lab techniques. Surface functionalization of a polymer structure is
the key component of a coating formulation allowing control over such
properties as dispersion, film formation temperature, and the coating
rheology. The association of other additives, such as thickeners with
adsorbed polymer material give rise to complex rheological behaviour and
excellent control over a coating's flow properties.
Polymer blends are
members of a class of materials analogous to metal alloys, in which at
least two polymers are blended together to create a new material with
different physical properties. A polymer alloy includes multiphase
copolymers but excludes incompatible polymer blends. These materials
combine high modulus, heat resistance and impact strength in addition to
flame retardant. Polymer processing is done by extrusion and injection moulding; other processes include calendering, compression. Polymer testing capabilities include advanced trace chemical analysis,
diverse analytical capabilities and identification of chemicals
composition, unknown materials and chemical contamination. It is used to
identify fundamental structural information including molecular weight,
molecular weight distribution and information on branching. Polymers
are manufactured under pressured conditions, pressureless conditions and
so on.
A material having particles or constituents of nanoscale dimensions, or
one that is produced by nanotechnology is a Nanomaterial. They are of
types like carbon based, metal based, dendrimers and composites. Useful
applications can be observed in the cases of nanomedicine, nanobiotechnology,
green nanotechnology, energy applications of nanotechnology, industrial
applications of nanotechnology, potential applications of carbon nanotubes and nanoart. The characteristic properties of nanomaterials
show wide usage in the current trending technology of material design.
The general methods of synthesis are Bottom-Up approach which includes
the chaotic and controlled processes and Top-Down approach which
includes various methods of nanolithography.
Current applications of nanoscale materials include very thin coatings
used, for example, in electronics and active surfaces (for example,
self-cleaning windows). In most applications the nanoscale components
will be fixed or embedded but in some, such as those used in cosmetics
and in some pilot environmental remediation applications, free nanoparticles
are used. The ability to machine materials to very high precision and
accuracy (better than 100nm) is leading to considerable benefits in a
wide range of industrial sectors, for example in the production of
components for the information and communication technology, automotive
and aerospace industries.
Magnetically tunable photonic structures are prepared in alkanol solutions by using silica-modified super paramagnetic Fe3O4 colloids
as building blocks. Repulsive electrostatic and magnetically induced
attractive forces contribute to the ordering of the Fe3O4 @ SiO2 colloids.
The ability to form tunable photonic structures in non-aqueous
solutions allows the fabrication of field-responsive polymer composite materials films for potential applications as displays and sensors. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
are materials in which metal – to-organic ligand interactions yield
porous coordination networks with record-setting surface areas
surpassing activated carbons and zeolites. They are used in the storage
and separations of gases, catalysis and others. There are two major
methods to construct DNA Nano structures,
the tile-based and DNA origami methods. The tile-based approach is an
ancient method that provides a good tool to construct small and simple
structures, usually with multiple repeated domains. In contrast, the
origami method, at present, would appear to be more appropriate for the
construction of bigger, more sophisticated and defined structures which
facilitate molecular modelling.
In the past decade, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been considered
as one of the viable alternative technologies for applications such as
electrical vehicles and grid energy storage for renewable energies
(e.g., solar and wind) due to their high energy density and long cycle
life. Recent nanotechnology leads to the development of advanced electrode materials for
high-performance Li-ion batteries. The recent advances are in
graphene-based composites and their application as cathode materials for
Li-ion batteries. They focus on the synthetic methods of graphene-based
composites and their superior electrochemical performance in Li-ion
batteries. Advances in oxide semiconductor materials
and devices continue to fuel leading edge developments in display
technology, and transparent electronics. Nano crystalline oxide
semiconductor offers a host of advantages such as low cost and high
scalability. In semiconductor device applications, oxide semiconductors
stem from a number of attributes primarily their ease of processing, and
high field effect mobility, rising in stackable process nature on
silicon circuits.
Inorganic Materials Chemistry includes the study of elements with either metallic or non-metallic properties. Most of the elements are metallic for example alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals
and so on. The category of non-metallic elements mainly contains
elements which are gaseous in nature like hydrogen, oxygen and so on
including noble gases. These all were segregated to produce new inorganic compounds
based on the particular process of synthesis. Inorganic nanotubes have a
composition of metal oxides which are morphologically similar to a
carbon nanotube. Existence of substance in more than one crystalline
form is polymorphism whereas existence of an element into more than one physical form is allotropy. Superconducting materials are some of the most powerful electromagnets known. They are used in MRI/NMR machines, mass spectrometers, and beam-steering magnets used in particle accelerators. Stoichiometric analysis of materials deals with the relative quantities of reactants and products of a chemical reaction whereas gravimetric analysis
deals with the relative properties of reactants and products. Zeolites
are aluminosilicate and microporous minerals which are used as catalysts
in the most of the chemical reactions.
Organic Materials Chemistry is a major area of research which leads to the development of advanced organic and polymeric materials
by investigating into the process of synthesis, processing, control,
characterization and establishment of the structural properties
relationship among these materials. Functional properties were studied
and related structural applications will be considered to play a key
role. Nomenclature to the compounds was given based on the chemical
structure and isomerism was observed in relation to the radical displacement of atoms within the structures. Structural chemistry
involves the determination of structure of compounds using various
instrumental techniques and the derivation of desired results by having a
detailed study of the conclusions drawn during the process of analysis.
Metal-organic frameworks
(MOFs) are materials in which metal-to-organic ligand interactions
yield porous coordination networks with record-setting surface areas
surpassing activated carbons and zeolites. De-localization of orbitals
within the complex substances form conjugated systems of materials which lead to the derivation of chromophores used in synthetic processes. Diamond and carbon materials are widely used in the applications of organic synthesis from novel materials.
The effects of ultrasound induce certain physical changes like the dispersal of fillers and other components into base polymers (as in the formulation of paints), the encapsulation of inorganic supplements with
polymers, changing of particle size in polymer powders, and most
important is the welding and cutting of thermoplastics. In contrast,
chemical changes can also be created during ultrasonic irradiation as a
result of cavitation, and these effects have been used to favour many
areas of polymer chemistry. In materials science, the sol-gel conversion
is a method for producing solid materials from small molecules. This
method is used for the fabrication of metal oxides particularly the
oxides of silicon and titanium. The process involves conversion of
monomers into a colloidal solution (sol) that acts as the precursor for
an integrated network (or gel) of either discrete particles or network
polymers. Important precursors are metal alkoxides. Polymers produced
under sonication had narrower poly dispersities but higher molecular
weights than those produced under normal conditions. The fastness of the
polymerization was caused by more efficient dispersion of the catalyst throughout
the monomer, leading to a more homogeneous reaction and hence a lower
distribution of chain lengths. The electrical and magnetic phenomena alter the properties of materials for better prospective in manufacturing. Plastic fabrication is the design, manufacture and assembly of plastic products through one of a number of methods.
Materials Chemistry along with Physics deals with the structure, properties, processing and performance of materials. Applied physics is intended for a particular technological or practical use of materials. Materials characterization
is a broad and general process by which a material's structure and
properties are probed and measured. Materials characterization usually
done by the major techniques like Microscopy, spectroscopy,
macroscopic testing. The scale of the structures observed in materials
characterization ranges from angstroms, such as in the imaging of
individual atoms and chemical bonds, up to centimeters, such as in the imaging of coarse grain structures in metals.
Materials Management
and engineering focus on improving what materials are made of and how
they are made. New materials enable better performance and sustainable technologies.
It is always new materials that open the door to new technologies,
whether they are in chemical, civil, construction, nuclear,
aeronautical, agricultural, mechanical, and biomedical or electrical engineering.
In this the mechanics of materials are evaluated for the better
performance of the newly designed materials and general areas of
dynamics of particles and rigid bodies and the mechanics of deformable solids.
Strength of materials is also analysed for the future prospective and
effective material construction like Organic Lunimophores and so on.
Creating competitive advantage through material technologies and developments which lead to new applications comes under Functional Materials Chemistry. The concept of Materials Science and physics involves certain materialistic methodologies such as materials science quantum mechanics and other related concepts.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted much attention in the past decade. They have high specific surface area and also electronic engineering and
properties that differ from their bulk counterparts due to the low
dimensionality. Graphene is the best known and the most studied 2D
material, but metal oxides and hydroxides (including clays),
dichalcogenides, boron nitride (BN), and other materials that are one or
several atoms thick are receiving increasing attention. They exhibit a
combination of properties that cannot be provided by other materials.
Many two-dimensional materials are
synthesized by selective extraction process which is critically
important when the bonds between the building blocks of the material are
too strong (e.g., in carbides) to be broken mechanically in order to
form Nano structures.
These have a thickness of a few nanometres or less. Electrons are free
to move in the two-dimensional plane, but their restricted motion in the
third direction is governed by quantum mechanics.
Magnetic topological insulator comprised of two-dimensional (2-D)
materials has a potential of providing many interests and applications
by manipulating the surfaces states like yielding quantum anomalous Hall
effect giving rise to dissipation-less chiral edge current, giving
axion electromagnetism and others. The chemistry of
electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties varies in a
peculiar style and these materials are applied widely in case of ambipolar electronics, transistors and so on.
