Description: The Asia-Pacific Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (APCSCRM 2018) was held on July 9-12, 2018 in Beijing, China. This collection compiled by results of this conference and reflect new developments in the areas of wide bandgap semiconductors (SiC, GaN, Ga₂O₃, and etc.) and their device fabrication, including advances in the bulk and epitaxial growth, material structure and property, photoelectron and electronic device. We hope that this edition will be interesting and useful for many specialists from the area of research and designing of semiconductor materials and semiconductor devices.

Description: This series proceeding includes original, peer-reviewed research papers from the International Conference on Materials Science and Industrial Applications (MSIA 2019), and held on January 12-13, 2019 in Wuhan, China. We hope that this publication will be interesting and useful for the wide range of the specialists which activity related to the materials science and processing technologies.

Description: The present publication arises from the cooperation between the Institute of Production Technologies (IPT), belonging to the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology (MTF) of the Slovak University of Technology (STU) and TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS LTD. For the fifth time, the book aims at publishing scientific achievements on the Materials Science and Production Technologies fields, as well as at enhancing the worldwide cooperation and recognition among young and senior academicians and/or practitioners. The book addresses trends in Materials Science and their application in industry, e.g.: composites and biomaterials, polymers, materials weldability, analysis of metals and alloys, numerical analyses and simulation of materials and etc. Most of these topics keep a direct relation to production technologies and systems and thus, always keeping a special focus on the used materials. The book also addresses some key production processes, technologies and systems.

Description: The main topics of the 3rd International Conference on Frontiers of Composite Materials (ICFCM2018, Sydney, Australia, November 16-18 2018) relate to different aspects in the research, design and production of the modern composite materials. We hope that the  collection will be interesting and useful for specialists from the area of the structural composite materials.

Description: The 7th International Conference on Material Science and Engineering Technology (ICMSET 2018) was held in Beijing, China during October 20-22, 2018 and was dedicated to new research developments and advances in the fields of materials science and engineering technology. We hope this collection of articles will be interesting and useful for the specialists in the area of materials science and technologies of materials processing.

Description: “Simulation-based technology development for metal forming” is a compilation of selected conference papers presented at the metal forming conference MEFORM 2019, that has taken place from March 20^th to 21^st, 2019 in Freiberg / Saxony. The publication addresses to engineers as wells as to representatives of R&D institutions and technical education aiming for simulation-based technology development in the metalworking industries. It provides insights and information about new simulation approaches to support the development of materials and forming technologies for light or heavy metals and material characterization. The models range from fast models for material flow and load prediction to time-consuming multi-scale approaches, including microstructure evolution and the resulting mechanical properties.
