Functional material created from common materials – Ubiquitous materials
Due to social and cultural development, our use of resources and energy has increased. However, there are limited amounts of certain resources. Sustainable solutions/green energies; solar, wind, water, and wave power are paramount and recommended for study and development.
Ubiquitous materials refers to a material group which is readily found and plentiful in supply. Ideally, if existing materials containing rare/scarce elements within a device or process can be replaced by Ubiquitous materials, the development of Ubiquitous materials is preferred and encourage. Without these advances, finite resources will vanish. Applying the same design and process of exciting materials to produce the Ubiquitous materials is a challenge and will have some disadvantages. Therefore reviewing these bodies of work will take priority.
For these reasons, we aim to create Ubiquitous Nanomaterials with excellent function, superior to even single bulk materials, by conducting composites of multi-materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, and complex and controlling Nanostructures and their interfaces. To create these Ubiquitous materials, we believe ground-breaking solutions will be found by applying a “Bottom-up Process” which controls the precise structure, and Soft Chemistry will lead to us to achieve these important results.
