N2 - The configurational entropy of mixing (∆Smix) has a profound influence on the stability of various phases in different
materials at intermediate and high temperatures. Recently, it has been observed that ∆Smix can be used as an important tool
to design novel multicomponent materials with fascinating properties. ∆Smix affects ∆Gmix and tends to stabilize the FCC/
BCC/HCP multicomponent solid solutions over brittle phases including compounds. This opens up vistas to design novel
solid solution-based materials with improved mechanical, functional properties. Accordingly, multicomponent and
multiprinciple alloys were developed in 2004, and subsequently, novel ceramics and polymers have been designed. The
present paper is intended to provide an insight into the role of ∆Smix to design novel metallic, ceramic as well as polymeric
materials.
