Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The “next-generation materials” are those materials that have high
efficiency, high-performance structural stability, easy manufacturability, and
multifunctional capabilities. These new materials can be classified based on dimension,
shape, composition, and nanostructure like 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D. These materials have
unique enhanced properties viz. electronic, optical, mechanical, magnetic,
optoelectronics, vitrification, thermal properties, etc. Due to these outstanding features,
these smart materials could be a game changer for prospects. Tuning the properties of
such advanced materials provides a wide variety of fascinating opportunities. This
chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of materials used to fabricate
supercapacitor point of view and several other latest applications. The nanomaterials,
discussed in this chapter along with their properties are Graphene, nanotubes,
nanocomposites, microwave-absorbing materials, nanoparticles, biomaterials, and selfhealing polymers. It also discusses future directions for the development of advanced
materials that perform well to anticipate future trends and highlight their relevance in
real-world contexts. This chapter could become the torchbearer for new researchers
working in the field of multifunctional advanced materials.
