Future Trends

Unprecedented opportunities are arising for re-engineering existing products. For example, cluster of atoms (nanodots, macromolecules), nanocrystalline structured materials (grain size less than 100 nm), fibres less than 100 nm in diameter (nanorods and nanotubes), films less than 100 nm in thickness provide a good base to develop further new nanocomponents and materials.

The buckyball (C60) has opened up a excellent field of chemistry and material science with many exciting applications because of its ability to accept electrons. Carbon nanotubes have shown a promising potential in the safe, effective and risk free storage of hydrogen gas in fuel cells, increasing the prospects of wide uses of fuel cells and replacement of internal combustion engine. The potential of nanotubes can"
