Engineered Materials: Micro-Nanostructure, Properties and Applications
Résumé
The special issue presents a series of 12 contributions related to recent developments on the link between functionalities and structure in micro and nanostructured materials. The main singularity of our collection is that we proposed to bring together the know-how of several disciplines (physics, mechanics and chemistry) for a transdisciplinary discussion on the multi-scaled properties on nanostructured systems. We put together different communities for a better understanding of the relations between elaboration-structure-and-properties in bulk nanostructured materials. Particular attention has been paid to the parameters which seem to govern the macroscopic physical properties of these structures: the size of the grains, the interaction between these grains but also the influence and the nature of the size of the crystallites constituting these grains as well as their confinement by different designed nanostructuration. The main idea of this collection is to open the debate on the possible reliable strategies able to characterize the microstructure and link them to the performances of the nanostructured materials. As reported in the contributions presented in this collection, this latter point is essential for improving the physical functionalities of new nanostructures.
