This edition is devoted to analysing materials properties and technologies of materials processing and synthesis. Structural metal materials and technologies of their processing, analysis of corrosion properties of steel, properties and technologies of polymers and composites processing and the practice of application of some additive manufacturing technologies, research and study of building materials properties and fire-resistance of main construction materials, technologies of dye degradation and absorption in industrial wastewater, and examples of using the density functional theory method for computational research of thermoelectric materials and electronic structure of semiconductors are the main topics of this special topic publication. This book will be helpful to a wide range of specialists in machinery, construction, and environmental engineering.
The wide use of additive manufacturing and the development of fuel cell technologies are the mainstream topics in modern machinery and energy supply. Some research results on these issues are presented in a special section of this publication. The book will be interesting for many specialists whose activities are connected to materials and concerned technologies.
Analysis of microstructure and properties of polymers, composites, structural metals, and functional ceramics are the main topics of this edition. Analysis of welding processes and electric arc surfacing and results of computational materials science studies are also presented. This book will be interesting for various categories of engineers and researchers from the area of applied materials science.
Fibers and fabrics are currently often used as a reinforcing element in the production of various composite materials, which are often used in mechanical engineering and in the construction sector. A separate chapter is devoted to textile reinforcing materials.
Environmental problems in textile production are mainly related to the dyeing process and the chemical treatment of fabrics and fibers. Some aspects of textile dyeing and wastewater treatment processes are also discussed in this publication.
This edition is the collection of selected peer-reviewed extended papers abstracts of which were presented at the 13th European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ECSCRM 2020-2021), held in Tours, France, in October 2021. During the conference, held for the first time in hybrid mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers discussed issues in the field of wide bandgap semiconductors, focusing on silicon carbide and related materials. Presented articles cover a wide range of topics divided into four major sections: Material growth and wafer manufacturing; Characterization, modelling and defect engineering; Processing; Power devices and applications. The contributors are worldwide academics and industrialists.
In the modern practice of materials science, an important place is occupied by polymer and composite materials. Their synthesis, analysis of properties as well as methods and possible areas of use are constantly being improved and expanded. The useful information presented in the chapter on polymer and composite materials will be interesting and helpful to readers dealing with such materials.
Modern technologies and materials in agrochemical production and food processing are aimed at intensifying agricultural production and increasing the efficiency of storage and processing of food products, which in modern conditions is very important in terms of ensuring food security. Part of the presented book is also devoted to the topic of agrochemistry and food processing.
In line with sustainable development, biotechnologies play a significant role, providing a reduction in the harmful burden on the environment through the use of bio-raw materials and bio-components in the technological process. Some issues related to the development of new and improvement of known biotechnological production processes are discussed in the corresponding chapter.
In the presented edition, the reader will also find a section related to research in the field of pharmacochemistry and devoted to studying of properties, synthesis, extraction, purification of substances used or that can potentially be used in medicine.
This publication is of interest to specialists in the field of chemical synthesis of materials and chemical production.
This issue comprises publications containing research results on modern materials science and processing technologies starting from structural steel and alloys, materials for biomedical application to polymers, composites, advanced nanomaterials, building materials, and materials used for environmental protection.
The presented volume reflects the last research results and engineering solutions in materials and technologies in mechanical engineering and construction, modern nanomaterials, and applied nanotechnologies. The short reports on the research papers were presented at the 5th International Conference on Sensors, Materials and Manufacturing (ICSMM 2021) and 2021 9th International Conference on Nanomaterials and Materials Engineering (ICNME 2021).
