Abstract:
Nanotechnology has been researched now for over a decade. After many early promises of runaway successes, several practical products have now begun to appear for use by industries and consumers. In this talk, I will start by giving a number of common examples and move on to some of the significant achievements that have helped better the productive and quality control environment in industry. The use of nanotechnology to accurately tailor properties and uses and to create just in time manufacturing or personalized products will be discussed. The numerous products in the pipeline, their economic impact, the dynamic possibility of prosperity and the next generation of approaches that will have an influence on the environment and regulations will also be highlighted. Dr. Sudarshan is an entrepreneur that has created several products by straddling the boundaries between research and reality. Dr. Sudarshan and his team have been responsible for bridging the gap from impossible to possible and from converting scientific knowledge into technology. He is the editor of two international journals: “Materials and Manufacturing Processes” and “Surface Engineering” and has chaired 28 conferences on surface modification technologies worldwide. He received his B. Tech in Metallurgy from IITM, and his M.S. and PhD degrees in Materials Engineering from Virginia Tech. He holds numerous patents, over 170 publications and has received the Outstanding Young Engineer award, two R&D-100 awards and Design News awards.
