Materials Chemistry provides the link between atomic, molecular and supramolecular behavior and the useful properties of a material. It lies at the core of many chemical-using industries. It involves the use of chemistry for the design and synthesis of materials with interesting or potentially useful physical characteristics, such as magnetic, optical, structural or catalytic properties. Research in materials chemistry and Science may focus on a discipline which could be a specific material. Some of the concerned points of research incorporate Computational Materials Science, Biomaterials, Ceramics, Composites, Photonics, and Functional Materials. Also due to the dramatic rise in the energy demands, researchers have started to focus on the energy materials for a better future.

Materials are crucial to monetary, social and mechanical improvement. Materials Science provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical review of advanced materials design and processing. The syncretic way of materials science and its complex qualities is drawing in numerous scientists and researchers towards this field for intense investigation. Modern society is heavily dependent on advanced materials: lightweight composites for faster vehicles, optical fibers for telecommunications and silicon microchips for the information revolution.

Importance and Scope

Materials science is evolving every day. With increasing urbanization and new generation demands for smart technology, better health security, wellness is impacting the market greatly; there is intense pressure on resources such as transportation, housing, energy and civil infrastructure and most especially the chemicals and materials industry to support developments across these sectors. Millions of chemical and material combinations create challenges for scientists when applying them to real-world applications that consumers touch every day.

The composites and polymers segment dominated the global lightweight materials market accounting for a market share of 30.4%, in 2015.  Nanomaterials Market is expected to reach USD 55,016 million by 2022 from USD 14,741.6 million in 2015, supported by a CAGR of 20.7%. Research plays a unique role in this industry, driven by production costs (and ultimately the cost of the material to the market) perhaps more than any other industry examined.

 

 

Why Toronto, Canada?

Toronto is the leading tourism destination in Canada, attracting more than 25 million Canadian, American and international visitors annually. It is the provincial capital of Ontario and the fourth most populous city in North America after New York City, Mexico City, and Los Angeles.

Toronto is the center of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) which is the most populous metropolitan area in Canada. A global city, it is an international center of finance, business, arts, culture, and is recognized as one of the most cosmopolitan and multicultural cities in the world.
