Emerging Materials and Nanotechnology

Materials and Devices

Materials are the building block of emerging device. Materials are used in devices because of their unique properties such as electrical, magnetic, thermal, optical, mechanical and piezoelectric properties. The widely used material components are polymers, semiconductors, oxides and liquid crystals. The electronic materials are the principal elements in numerous device application and has its usage in daily electronic tools such as computers, mobile phones, LED bulbs and GPS devices. New materials and devices are designed to improve the optical, electronic, thermal and chemical performance of the existing devices. The present strategies of developing electronic materials and devices involves the synthesis and fabrication of materials with desired properties. This thrust for emerging materials and devices has led the researchers to discover various new materials including Nano materials, fullerenes, carbon nanotube, Aerosol jets, Graphene, high-k dielectrics, strained Si, conductive polymers, quantum heterostructures, nanomesh and nanofilm, nanoelectromechanical systems, nanoimprint lithography, Stereolithography, Poly jet, Fused Deposition Modelling, Selective Laser Sintering, Selective Laser Melting, etc., each offering unique applications. It is therefore, very important that the researchers working in the field of materials and devices are equipped with the right knowledge of modern tools and methods used in processing and characterization of these emerging materials and devices. The present strategies of developing electronic materials and devices involves the synthesis and fabrication of materials with desired properties.
