MAJOR TRENDS Biomaterials & biocompatible materials Energy Self-assembled materials Nanomaterials
11
BIOMATERIALS & BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS Drug delivery devices Replacement parts –Hearts –Joints Regeneration of tissues –Blood –Bone –Skin
12
ENERGY Recognition of problems with fossil fuels –Environmental effects –Dwindling supply and increasing costs Two aspects of particular interest –Fuel cells –Solar cells
13
FUEL CELLS Continuously fueled electrochemical devices –Fuel (hydrogen or hydrocarbons) in anode –Oxygen in cathode Output – electrical energy Important to “hydrogen economy”
14
SOLAR CELLS AKA photovoltaics More environmentally friendly First generation –Silicon wafers Second generation –Thin film technologies Third generation –Hot carriers –Multiple electron-hole pair creation –Thermophotonics –Organic-based photovoltaics
15
SELF-ASSEMBLED MATERIALS & NANOMATERIALS Self-assembled materials –Allows greater control of structure –Of interest for many different kinds of materials Nanomaterials –Broad appeal –Numerous applications make use Biomaterials –Drug or iron delivery in bloodstream Fuel cells –Increasing surface area of catalysts Semiconductors
16
RESOURCES FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE General –Materials science –Other disciplines For specific types of materials –Ceramics –Metals –Nanomaterials –Polymers –Semiconductors
