Defect and Diffusion Forum

Description: This volume contains the selection of papers presented at the 10th International Conference on Diffusion in Materials (DIMAT-2017, Haifa, Israel, May 7-12, 2017) that are related to the less-traditional field of science and technology where fundamental understanding of the kinetics of atom movements and diffusion phenomena are important, such as mineralogy, energy storage and conversion, polymers and hybrid organic-inorganic materials and more.

Description: This book consists of the papers that were introduced at the 6th International Conference on Engineering and Innovative Materials (ICEIM 2017, Tokyo, September 3-5, 2017) and we hope that this collection will be interesting and useful for many specialists from the area of materials science in the various branches of production.

Description: This collection of articles was created by results of the International conference on Nano-materials, Function and Composite Materials (ICNFCM2017, July 22-23, 2017, Hong Kong, China) and presents for readers the results of recent achievements in the field of research of properties and synthesis of the various functional materials for the many branches of the modern manufacture. We hope this book will be useful and interesting for many engineers and researchers from many areas of engineering sciences.

Description: This is special topic volume “Recent Trends in Mass Transport in Solids and Liquids” focuses on the mass transport in its broadest sense spanning the atomic scale right up to the macro scale. There is also a special focus on real engineering applications of mass transport.

Description: The presented volume “Transport Problems with a Focus on Fluid and Heat Flow” in the journal "Defect and Diffusion Forum" covers in a wider sense diffusion related phenomena. The basic phenomena of heat and mass transfer play an important role in basic and applied research and this volume presents a balanced collection of recent developments in this area.

Description: The special issue “Transfer Phenomena in Fluid and Heat Flows IV” of the journal “Defect and Diffusion Forum” presents papers covering theoretical and practical aspects of modeling and numerical investigation of the diffusive convection, magnetohydromagnetic mixed convective flows and heat transfer phenomena in different media and engineering objects.

Description:

The special issue on “New Development for Heat Transfer in Solids and Fluid Flow” of the journal “Defect and Diffusion Forum” addresses a number of pertinent issues related to novel analytical and numerical modelling of various problems with respect to heat transfer in solids and fluid flow. Papers presented cover exothermic kinetics in solids, nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids dynamics, natural convection, forced convection, mixed convection, magnetohydrodynamics, biotransport, porous media flow and entropy generation analysis. We anticipate that our special issue will stimulate and help a wide audience of researchers, engineers and educators from various fields of human activity.

 

Description: The goal of this special issue is to provide material scientists and clinicians from dentistry with an appreciation of the fundamental aspects of dental biomaterials from materials science point of view, as well as their clinical applications in the dentistry.

Description:

Defects and diffusion are key concepts at the description of nuclear materials behavior at thermal and radiation impacts. The evolution of various defects (such as point defects, dislocations, grain boundaries) determines changes of the materials properties under operating conditions. The present issue contains new and relevant data about the diffusion and defects in nuclear fuel (uranium alloys, oxide and nitride fuel) and structural materials (steel and non-ferrous metals). We hope that this special issue will be useful for researchers and engineers working in the field of material science and nuclear engineering. We wish to thank the authors for their contributions to this special issue and reviewers for their cooperation and efforts to prepare and evaluate the manuscripts.
