Advanced Materials for Next-Generation Technologies: Challenges and New Prospects

by Shrikaant Kulkarni (Editor), Vipul Srivastava (Editor), Rabah Khenata (Editor), Yarub Al-Douri (Editor)

Overview

Advanced materials exhibiting novel properties with increased functionality are the future of technology. These materials have the potential to improve people’s quality of life as well as to make affordable sustainable materials a reality. The book details advanced novel materials for applications in frontier areas, discussing perovskites as promising materials for the future technology. It also discusses synthesis protocols for the design and development of some novel materials, spinel material synthesis and its structural analysis, green synthesis of metal oxides, the property profiles of the materials for behavioral change, and more.
