DESCRIPTION:Chemical nanotechnologies have played\, in the past few decade
 s a major role in the convergence of life\, physical and engineering scien
 ces leading not only to simple collaboration among the disciplines but to 
 a paradigm shift based on true disciplinary integration. The successful sy
 nthesis\, modification and assembly of nanobuilding units such as nanocrys
 tals and wires of different materials have demonstrated the importance of 
 chemical influence in materials synthesis\, and have generated great expec
 tations for the future. Implications of chemistry as an innovation motor a
 re now visible for knowledge leap forward in various sectors such as mater
 ials engineering for energy\, health and security.\nMaterials chemistry mo
 stly housed at the universities and academic research institutions has del
 ivered tremendous knowledge leap in the domain of functional materials but
  in the absence of proper validation of new materials for possible device 
 application their commercial uptake is severely limited.
