Smart Materials
Nearly every industry, including biomedicine, energy, chemicals, and
electronics, is affected by nanoscale. Nanoscale materials / processes
are responsible for the behavior of materials. Many applications have just
been waiting for the right materials to come along
– such as economical
solar cells or super efficient electrical lines. These materials may make
global energy problems a chapter in old history books. As other times of
progress (Iron Age, Bronze Age, Industrial Age, and Information Age),
with nanomaterials, we are entering a new age
– the
Molecular Age
.
Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes or nanoshells have
superpowers compared to regular carbon or silica particles. Carbon
nanotubes, for example, have 100 times the strength of steel, conduct
heat better than a diamond, and carry electricity better than copper.
Similarly, nanomaterials such as buckyballs, single-walled nanotubes
(SWNTs), nanoshells, quantum dots, and microcapsules have been
called
smart materials
, and their versatility has not been lost on the
science and engineering communities.

Like science, engineering focuses on several research areas, such as
aerospace, biomedical, chemical, electrical, environmental, mechanical,
and nuclear. However, all areas share a common denominator:
advanced materials. Engineers work toward improving or understanding
the specific properties of materials. Since nanomolecules and nanotubes
were discovered, scientists and engineers have rushed to test all the
possibilities these materials offer. Everyone wants to find new ways to
use them.
For example, plastics research made possible everything from storage
containers and toys to contact lenses and artificial joints. Plastic was the
new big thing in the 1950s and 1960s. It changed the way people lived.
Lots of things became so cheap to make that they were just thrown away
when they got dirty and scratched. (The benefit of this disposable
mindset is still being debated, however.)
Nanomaterials seem to be heading in the same direction, but perhaps
in a more environmentally tolerable way. Their special properties at the
molecular level make plastics seem prehistoric by comparison. Table 8-1
compares the various properties of different nanomaterials.
Engineers now have even greater strength, heat conductance,
molecular changeability, electricity transmission, and flexibility to work
with. Not only will new solutions to old problems such as disease be
found because of their research, but completely new products
(unimagined today) are possible. As these products become available,
we‟ll wonder what took us so long to think of them. When technology
allows us to mix and match atoms, anything is possible!
