Emerging Materials and Nanotechnology

Polymer and Ceramic Nanotechnology

The field of Nanotechnology is one of the most popular areas for current research and development in basically all technical disciplines. This obviously includes polymer Nanotechnology which include microelectronics (which could now be referred to as nanomaterial). Other areas include polymer-based biomaterials, Nano medicine, Nano emulsion particles; fuel cell electrode polymer bound catalysts, layer-by-layer self-assembled polymer films, electro spun nanofabrication, imprint lithography, soft lithography, polymer blends and Nano composites. Even in the field of nanocomposites, many diverse topics exist including composite reinforcement, barrier properties, flame resistance, electro-optical properties, cosmetic applications, bactericidal properties. Phase separated polymer blends often achieve Nano scale phase dimensions; block copolymer domain morphology is usually at the Nano scale level; asymmetric membranes often have Nano scale void structure, mini emulsion particles in the large field of nanotechnology, polymer matrix-based nano composites have become a prominent area of current research and development. Metal oxides represent an assorted and appealing class of materials whereby the field of metal oxide nanostructured morphologies has become one of the most active research areas within the nanoscience community. This track covers Highly porous ceramic and metal materials, Composites based on shape-memory alloys, Design and manufacturing technology for ceramic and cermet composites with structural and phase transformations, Transformation-hardening ceramic and metal composite materials, Wear resistance of transformation-hardening ceramic and metal composite materials, Bio ceramic Materials, Porcelain, Ceramics Manufacturers and Market Analysis
