Abstract
Metamaterial has received great interest during the last ten years in distinct field, owing of its
key characteristics such as enhancement in bandwidth, radiated power, directivity and
controls the direction of electromagnetic radiation. It is a smart or a new class of manmade
invented materials that can achieve electromagnetic properties that do not occur naturally,
such as electromagnetic cloaking or negative index of refraction. These materials exhibit
negative value of permittivity, permeability and refractive index. In addition, metamaterial
extract their properties from their structure rather than the material of which they are
composed of. Further, these materials exhibit excellent design flexibility with their
customized properties and their tunability under external stimuli. Due to these attractive
properties, metamaterials have enabled the development of new devices and concepts and
possible utilization in diverse novel applications. Thus, metamaterials find wide application
in medical sector, automotive, aerospace, and many other devices (biosensor, crowd control,
absorbers, antennas, optical filters, infrastructure monitoring, smart solar power
management, energy harvesters and even shielding structure from earthquakes etc). Hence the
aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of different metamaterial, historical
development and their applications in different sectors. In addition, perspective about the
challenges and future scope for development of metamaterial is also presented, so that this
article could become the torch bearer for the new researchers working in the area of advanced
materials.
