With exotic discovery of graphene, the focus of researchers brings initiatives in field of atom-thick two-dimensional (2D) materials having exceptional and extraordinary properties. In year 2010, Prof. Andre Geim and Prof. Konstantin Novoselov from the University of Manchester, UK were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their ground-breaking experiments on the two-dimensional material graphene. Data elucidated from Scopus indicates that since 2010, on graphene 77, 221 documents have been published from over 120 countries. Number of documents reported on graphene increased from 3,748 to 16,378 since 2010 to 2016.

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have the potential to replace fossil fuel sources in both automotive and auxiliary stationary power generation applications. Increased implementation of fuel cells would decrease dependence on oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, a major obstacle preventing widespread adoption of fuel cells is cost. The two largest contributors to fuel cell costs are platinum catalyst loading and fuel cell power density. The general strategy for increasing power density and decreasing costly catalyst loading remains unchanged regardless of the catalyst used, i.e., to run the fuel cell at higher temperatures and pressures. Present-day automotive fuel cells typically operate over a temperature range of 50-90°C and pressures up to 3 atm. Increasing temperature and pressure allows for reduced catalyst loading and higher voltage output from the fuel cell. These harsher operating conditions require new membrane materials for thermal and water management. This review provides a summary of a variety of humidification membrane materials, both existing and under development, in order to identify a humidification membrane material capable of operating at higher temperature and pressure conditions to increase fuel cell efficiency and lower the humidification.

Guar gum is a non-ionic carbohydrate polymer derived from the endosperm of two annual leguminous plants Cyanaposis teragonalobus and Cyanaposis psoraloides. Chemically, it is galactomannan consisting straight chain of mannose units attached by β-D-(1→4) linkages, having α-D-galactopyranosyl unit bonded to poly(mannose) chain through (1→6) glycosidic links. Molecular weight of galactomannan varies ranging from 50 to 8000 kDa depending on the seeds and origin of plants; however polymer usually contains a definite ratio of building blocks, i.e., 1: 2 ratio of galactose to mannose. It is used in wide range of industries including cosmetics, paper, pharmacy, textile, adhesive, inks, lithography, paints, explosive and smoking products. In general, seed gums are non-toxic and applicable as emulsion stabilizer, thickening and gelling agents. Although, they nearly indigestible but consum in many food and pharmaceutical products as valuable additives to improve product qualities.

The rapidly growing demand for even more detailed low-cost measurements of weather and environmental conditions, including wind flow, asks for self-sustained energy solutions that eliminate the need for external recharge or replacement of batteries. Today’s wind measurement market is limited to traditional anemometers, ultrasonic measurement or expensive LIDAR (Light Imaging, Detection and Ranging) systems. This paper presents the initial design considerations for a low-cost combined air speed and wind direction sensor, which harvests energy to drive it and to power the wireless transmission of system configurations and measurements. An energy-budget for this transmission is included.

In 1959 a renowned physicist Richard Feynman in his talk “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom” discussed about nanotechnology in which he described the possibility of synthesis via direct manipulation of atoms. The term "nano-technology" was first used by Norio Taniguchi in 1974. Nanotechnology works at the very initial level of atoms and molecules for the living systems. Nanotechnology accelerates the developments of many techniques and tools for society. At nanoscale, unifying features of nature give a new foundation for fundamental research and new potential applications. Nanotechnology brings knowledge, innovation, and integration of technology together with novel nanomaterials. Nanotechnology research has shown developments due to innovative, advantageous properties of nanomaterials.

I am delighted to share the journey of Advanced Materials Letters (AML), which started its journey in June 2010 holding the hands of International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM, www.iaamonline.org) with the motto of “Advancements of materials to global excellence”. The time was the starting of 2010 and we were discussing about our upcoming footsteps for the advancement of materials research for empowering the society. Certainly, during the meeting, the core team of IAAM decided to publish an open access journal in the field advanced materials so that the materials’ community should get the latest highlights in advanced materials without any subscription and without any processing fee. We are very much thankful to VBRI Press for providing their platform for this noble initiative. The journey of the remarkable growth and impact of AML begins with its subject area of materials science and technology, also reflected by its unique and popular website http://www.vbripress.com/aml/. After a worthy journey of over 8 years, AML is now going to celebrate its 9 th anniversary in 2019, so as the founder Editor of AML, I am feeling very gratified to highlight the progress, milestones and future opportunities.

In today’s world, bio- nanocomposites are becoming increasingly prevalent owing to the extraordinary properties that they possess. Scientists learn to select suitable matrix (e.g. aliphatic polyesters, polypeptides and proteins, polysaccharides, and polynucleic acids) and fillers (e.g. nanotubes, nanofibers, clay nanoparticles, hydroxyapetite and metal nanoparticles) and alter their chemistry and structure to suit the target field. A critical challenge in the design and development of bio- nanocomposites is the adhesion of filler and matrix at their nanointerface. Also, bio- nanocomposites in addition to providing enhanced properties such as mechanical and thermal are biocompatible and/or biodegradable. This makes them one of the most versatile materials available today and thus can be prominently applied to biomedical technologies such as bone restructuring/repair, tissue engineering, dental applications, and controlled drug delivery.

The properties of materials at the nano scale critically depend on their size and shape, thus opening a new exciting area of nanotechnology. Its main thrust is to create novel functional materials with their unique physical, chemical and biological properties. The field of engineering of materials with desired properties is seeing a revolution as it becomes feasible to fabricate nanoscale building blocks having precisely controlled size and composition. Ionizing radiation (photon, electron and ion beams) have provided immense possibilities for engineering the desired properties of materials and are now emerging as indispensible tools for mesoscopic structuring [1-5]. The field of materials engineering through nano approach has demonstrated tremendous potential in the development of different types of novel materials with new characteristics and functions. The aim of nano engineering with photon, electron and ion beams is to control the nano scale structure of materials to optimize their properties and functionality.

Silicon is an excellent material for sensing. Sensors for all signal domains can be realised, and in many cases, integrated with read-out electronics. However, in some applications an addition layer may be required for sensing and/or to protect the silicon device. Piezoelectric, polymers or magneto resistive layers can be added to expand the options of silicon. In the case of some implants, the polymer is used to protect the body from the device. In harsh chemical environments, the coating layer can be used to protect the silicon and in some cases also function as the sensor. Layers such as SiC represent a chemically resilient layer to protect the layers below, but this layer can also be used as a sensing layer. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) provides thin uniform, and pinhole free layers which can be used as protection and sensing. Other materials include graphene. In cases such as extreme temperature, it is more difficult to protect the silicon device, and in these cases the electronics must be isolated from the heat. This paper will show examples of how coating layers can enhance the sensing capabilities of silicon devices and also provide protection.
