Description: This volume is collected from articles presented on 2019 Spring International Conference on Material Sciences and Technology (MST-S, April 22-24, 2019, Xiamen, China) and presents to readers the last achievements in the area of materials science, metallurgical and machining technologies, chemical and environmental engineering.

Description: The International Workshop E-Mobility and Circular Economy, which has been jointly organized by TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology and TU Clausthal, was held in 2018. The conference was dedicated to key technological and economical questions which arise in the recycling of materials commonly used in e-mobility and electronics. It was aimed both at presenting new solutions for mechanical and metallurgic recycling and the substitution of conventional engineering materials. As there is an increasing need for rare chemical species in the generation of certain electronic, electrical, and mechanical properties in e-mobility and electronics, there was an additional focus on trace elements.

Description: This volume of the journal contains articles which were presented on the 61st Brazilian Ceramic Congress, which was held from June 4th to 7th 2017 in Gramado, Brazil. These publications contain the research results in the area of the synthesis, processing, and characterization of ceramic, ceramic-based materials and composites, biomaterials and technologies of building materials production and waste processing in construction.

Description: This issue of the journal is prepared according to the results of the two conferences: the 2nd International Conference on Technologies for Polymeric and Composite Products (POLCOM 2018) and the 9th International Conference of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, (ICAMaT 2018) that were held together in Bucharest, Romania, 1- 2 November 2018. We hope that the collected papers will be interesting and useful for many specialists in the area of materials science and materials processing, designing and production in machinery, biomedical engineering, in the practice of industrial engineering.
