Description

Tentative Outline
Special Issue for Innovations in Corrosion and Materials Science
Guest Editor(s): Prof. M. A. Quraishi
“Advances in Nano-materials and Corrosion”
Aims & Scope:
The theme of the present issue is to discuss the impact of nanomaterials on the various
engineering applications. Nanomaterials describe in principle materials having single unit size in
between 1-100 nanometers. This issue also discusses the corrosion behavior of various advanced
materials. Topics covered in this special issue include “Nanocomposites, bioactive glasses and
glass ceramics. Nanocomposites are a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one,
two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers, or structures having nano-scale repeat
distances between the different phases that make up the material.
Bioactive glasses are a group of surface reactive glass ceramic biomaterials which include the
original bioactive glass. The biocompatibility of these glasses has led them to be investigated
extensively for use as implant materials in the human body to repair and replace diseased or
damaged bone. It is expected that the current issue will provide the readers a glimpse of the
various research and development activities taking place in the field of advanced materials.
