scales for them to provide their function. For many products, the
nanoscale will be the right long term scale. The continued extensive
use of nanomaterials to achieve very high levels of performance is
anticipated. There is every expectation that nanomaterials or nanotechnologies will become and continue to be a common part of
the many things will make our society of the time what it is.
Perhaps one of the most interesting arguments is that the Age of
Nanomaterials is indeed here to stay relates to a sea change in the
way materials themselves are designed. Until the present, the quest
for improved material properties in many of our most commonly
used materials has had to be done indirectly, such as heat treatments for manipulating the properties of steel to give them nanoscaled structures. Now we have tools for direct intervention at the
nanoscale. This is a remarkably important point of departure for
the future. Until history proves otherwise, suggesting that there is
indeed an age of nanomaterials appears a sound bet.
