Emerging Materials and Nanotechnology

Advanced Technologies in Material Science

Emerging materials and nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field of science and engineering incorporating wide range of natural and man-made materials that relates the structure, synthesis, properties, characterization, performance and material processing. Speciality chemicals are enabling the creation of new components and devices including displays, batteries, supercapacitors, printed electronics, stretchable electronics and much more. On the level of materials science research, represents a new genre of materials with its own logic of effect that cannot be described simply in terms of the usual categories of heavy and light or form, construction, and surface.  The materials like Salmon leather, Wood-Skin flexible wood panel material, Re Wall Naked board, Coe Lux lighting system, OLEDs, Organic solar cell,  Bling Crete light-reflecting concrete, digital genome , 3D printing , memristor and many other new innovations have created amazing and unique characteristics of the materials, for example Coe lux lightening system where the scientists used a thin coating of nanoparticles to accurately simulate sunlight through Earth’s atmosphere and the effect known as Rayleigh scattering. Soft materials are another emerging class of materials that includes gels, colloids, liquids, foams, and coatings.

The surface mount technology (SMT) market was valued at USD 2.70 billion in 2014 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.84% between 2015 and 2020. The base year used for study is 2014, and the forecast period is from 2015 to 2020. The global surface disinfectant market is expected to reach USD 542.55 Million by 2020 from USD 312.17 Million in 2015, growing at a CAGR of 11.69% between 2015 and 2020.
