This particular topic collection will be helpful not only to engineers but also to academic researchers and students.
This issue contains research results in advanced polymer and composite materials, functional materials, dentistry and maxillofacial surgery materials, and biotechnologies for chemical production and agriculture. The book will be interesting to materials science, biomass processing, and dentistry specialists.
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.
