The agricultural, industrial, and information technology revolutions
resulted in quantum and dramatic changes in the way in which we live
throughout the world. In recent years, the frontiers of research in
engineering, science and technology have been driven by developments in
nanomaterials that encompass a diverse range of disciplines.

The common theme is the ability to exhibit unique new properties
arising from quantum effects. The number of research themes involving
biological and nanostructured materials is growing rapidly and it is
widely anticipated that nanotechnology will produce products, devices,
components, and smart multifunctional intelligent systems. Advanced
materials inspired by biological systems and processes are likely to
change almost everything from vaccines to artificial tissues and organs
to quantum computers.

This special inaugural issue aims to focus on the recent developments
in nano and biomaterials in the growing field of nanostructured
coatings and materials.
