A progression of national activities in material science and technology has progressivelyemphasized the significance of computational techniques for materials discovery and for increasing thespeed of materials advancement. The complex nature of materialsimplies that hypothesis and simulation must be produced at several distinctivelengths and time scales, spreading over electronic structure to component in size,and femtoseconds to years in time.

The computational technique covers allmaterial types and applications, which implies that computational materialscience is entwined with allfields of materials.

Computational Materials Scientists will become key players inindustrial R&D effforts; they will shape engineering and scientificresearch focussing on the structure, processing and use of novel high tech materials with superior mechanical,thermodynamic, and electronic properties.

Advanced materials are modifications to existingmaterials to obtain higher performance in one or more characteristics that aresignificant for the application Advancedmaterials industry encompasses a full life cycle from materials extraction, materialscharacterisation, primary production, process development and to productfabrication, testing, use , waste management and recycling. The development of advancedmaterial can leads to the design of completely new products includingmedical implants and computers.

There are many groups of smart materials, eachexhibiting particular properties which can be harnessed in a variety ofhigh-tech and day to day applications. Those include shape memory alloys,magnetostrictive materials, piezoelectricmaterials, and chromic materials.

Because of the burgeoning science ofnanotechnology, the frontiers of energy storage research are expanding. Theextensive utilisation of energy and depleting fossil fuel sourcesmake it important to continuously search for new way to achieve renewable andsustainable energy sources. Developments of advanced functional materials for energy conversion, generation, and storagetechnologies have critical importance.

The widespread applications include, varietyof solarand fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, conversion of fossil fuels andbiofuels, hydrogen production and storage.

Semiconductors are the key elements for the majorityof electronic systems, serving communications, computing, signal processing andcontrol applications in both the industrial and consumer markets.

Semiconductors are employed in the manufacture ofdifferent kinds of electronicdevices, including transistors, integrated circuits and diodes. Due totheir compactness, reliability, power efficiency, and low cost, suchdevices have found broad application.

As discrete components, they have found usein power devices, light emitters and optical sensors, includingsolid-state lasers. They have current- and voltage-handling potential and,more significantly, make themselves to integration into complex butreadily manufacturable microelectroniccircuits.

Optoelectronics encompasses the structure, productionand investigation of electronicequipment devices that converts electricity into photon signals for differentuses such as medical equipment, telecommunications and general science. Theyare applied in electric eyes, photovoltaic power supplies, various monitoringand control circuits, and optical fiber communications systems.

Photonics supports technologies of daily lifefrom smartphones tocomputers to the Internet to therapeutic instruments to lighting technology.The 21st century will depend as much on photonicsas the twentieth century relied upon electronics.

Magnetic materials are another noteworthy field ofapplications of compositeand nanostructured metallic materials that are created by partialcrystallization of bulk glassy alloys. They are always utilized in powertransmission and generation, electronic appliances, analogue and digital datastorage, medical appliances like MRI, scientific instruments etc.

Recentmetallurgical research is concerned about the preparation of radioactive metals,with refining rare metals, with acquiring metals economically fromlow grade minerals, and with the alloys formulation. Tremendous quantities ofsteels, aluminium, titanium,copper, and nickel compositesare utilized for vehicles, ships, airplane, bridges, spacecraft, and buildings.

Corrosion is a dangerousand costly problem. Corrosionthreatens the safe disposal of radioactive waste that must be stored incontainers for tens of thousands of years, corroded medical implants may causeblood poisoning .There are plenty of methods for protection against corrosionwhich are in common use, whether by providing a physical barrier or deliberatecontrol of the corrosion reaction.

Mining is challenging field for bothmachine and human. As the demand for minerals become higher and thesources of useful metals are depleted, reuse and recoveryare becomes significant.

Polymer science is of expanding importance foreveryone’s daily life. Polymersare the integral part of many modern functional materials, gears, and devices. Currently, the emphasis has been onspeciality polymers that are costly yet have specificproperties that give high esteem, for instance, therapeutic prostheses such as,hip cups, replacement tendons or adaptable light-discharging diodes.

Anengineering componentwill fail when its surface cannot withstand the external forces or environmentto which it is subjected. The choice of a surfacematerial with the appropriate optical, thermal, electrical and magneticproperties and resistance to wear, degradation, and corrosion, is crucial toits functionality.
