Advanced Materials Science

Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology deals with materials and devices at the nanoscale, typically
ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers. This field enables the manipulation of matter at the atomic and
molecular level, leading to the development of novel materials with unique properties and
applications in electronics, medicine, energy, and more.

Composite Materials: Composite materials are engineered materials made from two or more
constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. By combining
materials like polymers, ceramics, metals, and fibers, composites offer superior strength-to-weight
ratios, corrosion resistance, and tailored properties for specific applications in aerospace,
automotive, construction, and sports equipment.

Smart Materials: Smart materials, also known as responsive or adaptive materials, exhibit dynamic
responses to external stimuli such as temperature, light, pressure, or magnetic fields. Examples
include shape memory alloys, piezoelectric materials, and self-healing polymers, which have
applications in sensors, actuators, biomedical devices, and structural components with built-in
intelligence and functionality.
