The 5th International Conference on Material Engineering Research (5th ICMER 2022) took place at the Incheon National University, Incheon, South Korea, during April 15-17, 2022. Currently, the entire world is struggling against the virulent COVID-19 pandemic. So, the conference was held as a remote presentation through video meetings. The primary objective of ICMER 2022 is to provide a world-class forum for exchanging original ideas and new information, the latest research and for discussing scientific progress. Also, it was held to bring together academics, scientists, engineers, postgraduates and other professionals in the area of material science and engineering technology from all over the world.

This book introduces a series of research results and engineering solutions in materials science and materials processing technologies. Nanoscale and conventional composite and polymer materials, ceramics, alloys, materials for photovoltaics and batteries, building materials, wastewater treatment, and some materials processing technologies are the main topics of this edition. The book comprises the results of the 4th International Conference on Advances in Materials, Mechanical and Manufacturing (AMMM 2022), the 11th International Conference on Engineering and Innovative Materials (ICEIM 2022) and the 13th International Conference on Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (ICMMT 2022).

This issue represents the research results in synthesis and processing technologies of bioceramic materials for various biomedical applications, from bone regeneration and dental restoration to drug delivery systems and skin tissue engineering. The edition will be helpful to specialists in biomaterials and tissue engineering. The articles collected in this book were presented at the 32nd Symposium and Annual Meeting of the International Society of Ceramics in Medicine (Bioceramics 32).

This publication proposes to readers research results to reflect the last achievements in materials science, mechanical engineering and mechatronics. The issue contains the selected articles presented at the International Conference on Mechanical Automation and Engineering Materials (MAEM 2022, online during June 18-19, 2022). 

Materials and technologies are significant elements for all kinds of high-tech industries that pave the road for advancements in the manufacturing area. With the rapid development of computer technologies, communications, and network technology, the traditional manufacturing process has evolved into intelligent, more technologically flexible and efficient manufacturing. This book is a collection of research articles on recent materials science, manufacturing technologies, and machine design advancements. The articles presented here were selected from the Fourth International Conference on Materials Science and Manufacturing Technology 2022 (ICMSMT 2022, April 8-9, 2022, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India).

This book presents and discusses the latest technologies and engineering advancements in materials science. It collects the results of the International Conference on Advanced Technologies in Chemical, Construction and Mechanical Sciences (ICATCHCOME 2022) organised in March 2022 by the Center for Research and Development, KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. The meeting provided an environment for academicians and industry personnel to present their research results and engineering solutions on the conference topics.

The main topics covered in this book are nanocomposites and bioceramics, materials used in the electronic industry, building materials, materials strength and structural integrity research, and mechanical engineering research. This book will be helpful to many specialists in machinery. The edition includes research results presented at the 7th International Conference on Applied Engineering, Materials and Mechanics (7th ICAEMM 2022) held in Jeju Island, South Korea, on May 27-29, 2022.

The book is devoted to scientific research results and analysis of practical findings on the technologies of preparation and applications of cement and other hydraulic, silicate, lime and gypsum-based binders. Particular attention was paid to studying the behaviour of these mentioned binders in different building materials such as concrete, inorganic insulation and solidified sludges. Here, the selected articles from the 20th International Conference Silicate Binders 2021 (Brno, Czech Republic) are collected.

BTechPro2022 was organised by the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry (LSIWC) and took place on April 27-29, 2022, in Riga, Latvia. The conference attracted young scientists from 9 countries and was devoted to Biorefinery Technologies and bio-based Products (BtechPro). According to the European Commission, Biorefinery can be broadly defined as the sustainable processing of biomass into a portfolio of marketable bio-based products, which could include the co-production of food and feed, materials and chemicals and bioenergy (power, heat/cold, fuels). Attention was paid not only to wood as raw material but also to a wide variety of biomass feedstock, pre-treatment and processing of them. Other topics covered at BTechPro2022: biomass-based materials; bioengineering technologies; synthesis of bio-based chemicals and polymers; characterisation of biorefinery products. The collected research articles cover current problems in biomass processing, starting from pre-treatment and bioengineering technologies to the synthesis and properties analysis of bio-based materials and chemicals. This edition will be of interest to scientists working on biorefinery topics.

The iCIABC21 held on December 20-21, 2021, aimed to provide a platform for industry and academia to exchange information on the most recent findings and developments in the fields of science and technology. Knowledge and technological preparedness are critical for the long-term sustainability of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). The iCIABC brings together researchers, academicians and industry worldwide to exchange ideas, advance knowledge and discuss key issues for industrial material biotechnology and chemistry-related fields. This edition highlights particular areas of promising technological development and supports the unifying themes of the advancement of industry and society. It is devoted to analysing existing and creating new technologies in environmental protection, pharmacology, bioprocessing and chemical production. The main accent is the application of bio-based materials and bio substances in these processes. This book will be helpful to many chemical engineers and technologists from biotechnical and chemical production and pharmacology as well as environmental engineering specialists.
