The study of nanomaterials is an active area of 21st-century research in physics, chemistry and materials engineering as well as biomedical engineering. Nanomaterials which are defined as substances that are in the form of spherical dot, rod, thin plate or voids of any irregular shape, but smaller than 100nm, find wide application in materials science and technology due to their very distinctive properties as compared with their bulk counterpart.

Advanced high-temperature materials are key players in the emerging new technologies which are pushing forward the structural-aerospace, propulsion-system, defense, nuclear, thermal and chemical industries. Accelerating efforts have been directed towards increasing the operating-temperature limits of existing material systems and developing new material compositions such as advanced ceramics, UHTCs, intermetallics and CMCs. Understanding and controlling the behavior of the microstructures and properties of such materials have become key elements in these research activities. Since processing may itself engender various unique microstructural configurations and properties, the routes taken when obtaining optimum structures are also of primordial importance.

Description: Nonequilibrium materials have always been of particular importance in materials science and application since most of the structural materials commonly used are not in the condition of stable equilibrium.
