Canadian Chemical News, November, 2001 by Ozin, Geoffrey A.

In the Solid State 20th Century, where trial-and-error solid-state synthesis produced unique structures, structures produced new physics and physics produced novel devices, it has been the fields of materials science and engineering that have propelled materials technology to the spectacular heights that society accepts and enjoys today. As we enter the Materials 21st Century, where designed chemical synthesis creates original molecules, molecules produce new materials, materials produce novel structures and structures produce unique function and utility, it is the insatiable demand for new materials in emerging fields like nanotechnology and biotechnology that is now driving the fields of materials science and engineering. Materials chemists, the inventors and makers...
