This volume includes five chapters that detail advances in materials science research. Chapter 1 provides the reader with an overview of our recent results obtained with originally synthesized zirconia nanopowders pure and modified in different ways. Chapter 2 showcases a comprehensive overview of the physicochemical properties of MC, gelling mechanisms, and phase diagrams, deepens the understanding of interactions with surfactants and ILs, and highlights experimental data that support further progress in this field. Chapter 3 introduces the foundational principles, design considerations, and technological advancements in Drug Delivery Systems (DDS), setting the stage for deeper exploration into their clinical applications and future directions. Chapter 4 discusses the ability of extremophilic microorganisms to synthesize polymers with exceptional physicochemical properties, including thermal resistance, high molecular weight, mechanical stability, and biocompatibility. Finally, Chapter 5 compares the intermolecular interactions in three benzoselenadiazole derivatives: (1) phenyl-substituted (BSeB), (2) thiophene-substituted (TSeT), and (3) selenophene-substituted (SSeS) by using CrystalExplorer software.
