7. Future of Materials Science.
1. Miniaturization –
2. Smart Materials –
3. Eco-Friendly Materials –
• Materials –
• For light weight
batteries with high
storage densities.
• For turbine blades that
can operate at
2500°C.
• Room-Temperature
Superconductors.
• Chemical Sensors
(artificial nose) for
extremely high
sensitivity.
• Cotton shirts that
never require ironing.

8. Need of Research in Materials
Science.
Nano-, Bio-, Smart materials can
make technological revolution,
conservation and re-use methods
and policies can have tremendous
environmental and technological
impacts!!
Without the right material, a good
engineering design is wasted.
As our knowledge of materials
science grows, so does the
sophisticated our tools….
