Synopsis

A decade of research has shown that nanostructured materials have the potential to significantly impact growth at every level of the world economy in the 21st century. This new class of materials is now being introduced in structural applications, such as wear resistance, plastic forming, and other load-bearing applications. Nanophase or nanocrystalline materials are also being used in electronics, refractory, biological and catalytic applications. Progress in a wide range of structural applications for nanomaterials crucially depends on the development of new fabrication and processing technologies, along with a fundamental understanding of the relationship between the structure and properties. This volume presents current multidisciplinary research on nanostructured materials for structural applications with the primary focus of reinforcing the relationship between basic science and engineering at the nanoscale level. Researchers come together here to review recent advances in the area, assess the impact across materials science and chart the course for future work in research, fabrication, design and application. The volume contains selected papers presented at the symposium whose thematic sessions covered nanostructured bulk materials, films, coatings and nanocomposites.
