Engineering design, whether applied to components, products, systems or processes, involves the development and application of technology and scientific knowledge to a complex multidisciplinary innovation process. Research in design methodology involves both the development of new engineering design methods and the study of the science of design methods and design practice. The present 18 peer-reviewed papers gather together the latest knowledge related to the “Innovating Processes” title of the volume.

The 2011 International Forum on Contaminated Sites Remediation aimed to improve Chinese soil environmental science and technology, to promote the development of Chinese contaminated-site management systems based upon risk assessment, to strengthen the engineering application ability of Chinese sustainable environmental restoration and to promote international cooperation and communication in contaminated-site management. At the same time, it was aimed at discussing the industrial development of environmental-risk assessment and remediation for contaminated sites, the current situation regarding the development of contaminated-site management and remediation, R&D, the manufacture and application of remediation equipment, financing mechanisms, engineering operations, etc. The result is a veritable handbook guide to the field.

Description: These peer‐reviewed papers were selected from “Materials Science and Engineering Applications”, which provides a forum where researchers, engineers, academics and industrial professionals from all over the world can present their research results and development activities in materials science and engineering. It also provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and experiences face-to-face, establish business or research contacts and find global partners for future collaboration. It also creates an atmosphere in which young talent has the opportunity to mix with professors and captains of industry. The proceedings provide an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load‐bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment.

Powders are the raw material for ceramics; the starting compositions for preparing bulk or film products. In addition, powders are used as additives to metals, polymers and composites. Whatever their function, powders - their characteristics and performance - govern the properties and quality of finished materials and products. Therefore, the importance of powders, including their synthesis and testing, cannot be overstated. The objective of this collection of peer-reviewed papers was to provide a forum where researchers, engineers and students could disseminate their latest research results and exchange views concerning the latest developments in novel technologies for fabricating and analyzing ceramic powders. This work is an essential guide to the above topics.

Description: The 20th International Symposium on the Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Materials (PFAMXX) was organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, during the 15-17th December 2011, in Hong Kong. The main purpose of this interdisciplinary symposium was to bring together state-of-the-art developments regarding all aspects of the processing and fabrication of advanced materials, spanning the entire gamut of metallic, intermetallic, ceramic, ceramic-matrix composites, metal-matrix composites, intermetallic-matrix composites, advanced polymers and polymer-matrix composites; together with surface and high-temperature coatings. The symposium provided an attractive forum for the presentation of the latest advances, in materials processing and fabrication, by researchers and engineers from industry, research laboratories and academia. The proceedings cover the areas of: Advanced Composite Materials (Polymer, Metal and Ceramics); Natural Fibres (Plant- or Animal-Based) Composites; Nanostructural Materials; Properties of Materials; Failure Analysis; Computational Analysis and Simulations; Advanced Manufacturing Processes; Bio-materials and Bio-composites; Materials Characterizations. The result is an excellent and timely overview of the subject.
