This volume consists of 46 peer-reviewed papers ranging from fundamental academic research to applied technology research, which are grouped into 6 chapters: Nanomaterials and green technology; Polymer, composite and advanced materials; Metals and alloys; Corrosion and coating technology; Ceramic materials; Materials processing and technology. It provides incomparable coverage of the current state of the art.
In this special issue, we have several papers that are addressing the current status of the fundamental issues related to synthesis and the diverse applications of semiconducting nanowires and nanotubes. The papers related to nanocrystalline polymer materials presented in chapter IV discusses the different aspects associated with the synthesis and properties of polymer materials and provides good scope for researchers to carry out further research on polymer materials. Demonstration about the usage of specific nanocrystalline materials for efficient drug delivery and antimicrobial activities are being discussed in chapter V under the title nanostructured materials for biological applications and will be an impetus for carrying out research in this area. Finally, in the chapter VI papers related to sensors and devices using nanostructured materials give an overview about the fabrication of devices like, field effect transistors, gas sensors and solar cells using nanomaterials.
The focus of this special collection was set on materials properties and testing techniques, it covers most aspects of testing techniques on mechanical, chemical, physical properties and microstructures of ceramics, glass and concrete. It is hoped the collection will promoted the research and development in the field of testing and evaluation of inorganic materials.
