Scientific Books Collection

The book contains articles based on research results presented at the 9th International Conference on Materials Design and Applications (ICMDA, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, from April 17 to 20, 2026) and reflects the modern level in the design and use of engineering materials and technologies, predominantly in mechanical engineering, including also construction and wastewater treatment.

This book represents a collection of selected papers from the 20th International Conference on Internal Friction and Mechanical Spectroscopy (ICIFMS) that was held in Lausanne from 7 to 10 July 2025. The conference gathered more than 50 scientists, students and engineers from 15 countries across Europe and Asia. The collected papers mark the state of the art and progress of science in understanding the elastic, anelastic and viscoelastic behaviour of materials.

The edition contains peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Materials, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering Technologies (MMCET), held in Tokyo, Japan, on December 17th-19th, 2025. The aim of this conference was to bring together researchers and developers from both academia and industry to share the latest scientific advances and practical engineering decisions in materials science and applied technologies.

This edition comprises articles presented at the 7th International Conference on Advances in Materials, Mechanical and Manufacturing (AMMM) and the 14th International Conference on Engineering and Innovative Materials (ICEIM), which were successfully held in a hybrid format during August 5-7, 2025, in Fukuoka, Japan, which is sponsored by Tokyo Denki University and co-sponsored by Osaka Institute of Technology. The included articles represent the latest research results in structural materials processing, engineering practice in machine development, including computational mechanics methods, micro- and optoelectronics, biomaterials, and the synthesis of various functional materials.

This edition collects articles based on research on modern problems in engineering tribology, the results of which were presented at the 4th International Conference on Engineering Tribology and Applied Technology (ICETAT, 18-20 October 2024, Sun Moon Lake, Nantou County, Taiwan).

This book contains articles based on research results presented by the authors at the 11th International Conference on Composite Materials and Material Engineering (ICCMME), held 28-30 January 2026 in Tokyo, Japan. The presented research results will be helpful for researchers and engineers in mechanical engineering, construction and chemical technologies.

This edition contains papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Material Science and Engineering Technology (ICMSET), held in Osaka, Japan, during November 21-24, 2025. We hope these research results will be useful to many engineers and researchers in their practical activities.

This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs in Silicon Carbide (SiC) and related materials for the development of advanced solid-state electronics. Its scope systematically covers the entire semiconductor value chain, beginning with bulk and epitaxial growth, followed by rigorous defect evaluation and material characterization. Furthermore, the compiled research highlights critical advancements in dielectrics, interface engineering, and the design of high-performance SiC power devices. Reflecting the expanding horizons of the field, the content also explores emerging SiC-based quantum applications alongside thorough assessments of power module robustness and reliability. Ultimately, this collection serves as an essential resource for researchers and engineers dedicated to driving innovation in wide-bandgap semiconductors. All articles compiled in this edition were presented at the 22nd International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM, 14–19 September 2025, Busan, Korea).

The edition contains articles based on research results presented at the 3rd International Conference on the Future Sustainable Energy (ICFSE , 19-20 October 2025, Babylon, Iraq). The collection will be helpful for a wide range of engineers and researchers from industry and construction.

This volume compiles papers derived from the research presented at the International Conference on Advanced Materials, Mechanical Engineering, and Manufacturing (AMMEM 2025), held from November 19–21, 2025, on Langkawi Island, Malaysia. It is intended to serve as a valuable reference for professionals and researchers in materials science, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing technologies.
