Current limitations of exogenous scaffolds or extracellular matrix based materials have underlined the need for alternative tissue-engineering solutions.
Over the last decade, hafnium based materials have emerged as the designated dielectrics for future generation of nano-electronics with a gate length less than 45 nm, though there exists no consensus on the exact composition of these materials, as evolving device architectures dictate different considerations when optimizing a gate dielectric material.
The vermiculite based materials have been found to be active and selective catalysts of the DeNOx process.
In the last decades, elastin based materials have gained in importance as biomaterials for tissue engineering applications due to their good cyto- and bio-compatibility, their ease handling and design, production and modification.
LVL based materials have controllable and homogeneous properties, and allow to exploit the potential of some hardwood species (e.g. beech).
In this context, tin dioxide (SnO2, TO) based materials have already shown promises but their long-term stability in the various potential ranges experienced by a PEMFC cathode remains unexplored.
Alginate based materials have become an important class of products in many fields from the pharmaceutical industry to tissue engineering, because of their ability to create stimuli responsive hydrogels.
Microwave absorption studies on ferrite based materials have been carried out.
Ni-Fe based materials have attracted extensive attention as oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts.
Although titanium (Ti) - based materials have been widely used in orthopedic field, their infections and instability remain serious complications.
Current state-of-the-art technologies including transparent heat reflecting mirror (THM), thermo-chromic (TC), transparent solar cells (TSC), and luminescent based materials have been discussed.
