Key Engineering Materials

Description: This special topical volume on is aimed to cover the recent advancements and trends in the area of building materials with reference to energy efficiency and sustainable development. The volume will be of special interest to environmentally-minded producers of building materials and to engineers, architects and building professionals, but it may also be of use to readers and researchers who are interested in building construction but who lack specialist technical knowledge.

Description: Using of special concretes and composites is often closely connected with severe loading conditions of final elements. Design and development of mentioned materials must take account into knowledge of basic properties of all components, because they could be special by their binder system, used fillers or by other technological solutions.
Edition will be useful for experts and practical engineers in the field of using concrete and composite materials in the different areas of construction.

Description:

The aims and contents of the ICAPMA 2015 special volume are to facilitate an exchange of information on best practices for material science and applications. It will provide a chance for physicists and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address the most innovative research and development including technical challenges and to discuss their ideas, results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of applied physics, material science and applications.

ICAPMA 2015 was organized by Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University (SSRU). This conference also was co-organized by Center of Excellence in Glass Technology and Materials Science (CEGM), Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University (NPRU), Thermoelectric Research Center (TRC) and Center of Excellence on Alternative Energy (CEAE), Sakon Nakhon Rajabhat University (SNRU), Muban Chombueng Rajabhat University (MCRU) and National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC).
