This book will assemble the scientific work on materials science going to be presented in International Conference on Energy, Materials and Information Technology, 2017, at Amity University Jharkhand, India. The materials science domain is immense and diverse by itself. This extravagance is both a product of advances in materials and a challenge in its future growth. This book emphasizes in all aspects of materials, from synthesis to its extraordinary and effective applications, from its physical characterizations to its cost-effectiveness. At one point, it provides an intrinsic knowledge on the nano-structured materials with their challenging and innovative applications; at some other point, it will be a source of knowledge towards the biotechnologists and pharmacologists for the recent knowledge of biomaterials research. It has also covered the essential and state-of-the-art research work of various engineering materials with important physical characteristics of materials which can be used to protect civilization from landslide hazards. Overall, a multidisciplinary scientific education on materials science and technology can be spread to the top quality experts who have a generic background in the different subdisciplines such as electronics, physics, chemistry, material science, and biotechnology.
