Abstract

With the emergence of novel thermally accelerated methods, the area of material science has undergone a paradigm shift, opening up previously unimaginable possibilities for the creation of next-generation materials with improved properties and functionalities. In order to shape the materials of the future, this paper explores the ground-breaking uses of thermally accelerated techniques such quick thermal annealing, spark plasma sintering, and laser-assisted deposition. Due to sluggish diffusion rates and incomplete reactions, traditional materials synthesis and processing processes frequently have trouble producing materials with the appropriate characteristics. This allows for accurate atomic-level manipulation of material microstructures. The engineering of materials with specific mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties is made possible by the fine-tuning of microstructures. The importance of thermally accelerated processes in a variety of material classes, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, is highlighted in this research. The use of thermally enhanced processes shows potential in promoting sustainable practises, as materials play a crucial part in addressing global concerns. These procedures help to reduce waste and conserve resources by enabling the effective recycling and upcycling of materials through controlled thermal treatments. The report also highlights the potential effects of thermally enhanced techniques on future industries such as flexible electronics, renewable energy systems, and medicinal devices, where specialised materials with outstanding performance are crucial.
