Scientific Books Collection

This International Conference was virtually held on November 26-28, 2021.
The main objective was to bring together engineers, industrial experts, and academics to share and exchange their research results and experiences related to their fields. This conference was also used as the platform for networking and the creation of collaboration and presents the results of the research in materials science and materials processing technologies analysis.
The research results and engineering solutions collected in this book will be helpful to machinery, chemical production, and energy conversion specialists.

This book presents the latest ideas and technologies in the sphere of advanced materials science and nanotechnology, specifically: the analysis of ceramics and glass properties, steel corrosion, results on the mechanics of materials (modelling and experimental testing), materials polishing processes, 3D technology, and chemical engineering. The book is based on the results of the 11th ICAMEM held virtually on March 29-30, 2022.

The book will be helpful to many engineers and researchers.

The 2021 3rd Asia Conference on Material and Manufacturing Technology, the 2021 5th International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing and Materials and the 12th International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Technology were successfully held via an online platform and collected articles on materials and manufacturing which will promote scientific and engineering findings as well as new products and technologies. Selected contributions introduce readers to the last research results and engineering solutions in materials science and technologies of materials synthesis and processing.

Unfold the Future with findings from the 20th AUTEX. In the textile industrial sector, fibrous materials are more and more important and omnipresent, and AUTEX was the platform to collect the state-of-the-art contributions related to textiles, from materials to technology, from design to merchandising, from education to products, from sustainability to a circular economy, thus revealing and unfolding the future of this industrial sector for readers. The conference took place on September 5-9, 2021, in Portugal, and is recognized as a reference among the textile scientific community gathering a large number of researchers every year.

The 13th NTC-2022 was held in Hurghada, Egypt, on March 18-22, 2022, to discuss and highlight the application of recent research results in green sustainable construction and nanotechnology and to provide an opportunity for scientists and industry experts to exchange ideas and experiences. Collected articles represent the latest research results in the areas of materials for sustainable construction, synthesis and application of some functional and nanostructured materials, and technologies and materials for wastewater treatment.

The 7th ICCMME 2022 and the 12th ICAMR 2022 aimed to provide a platform for finding existing problems, future challenges and future joint research opportunities between various institutions for composite materials and engineering applications. Presented articles from the conferences comprised in this collection are related to materials science and reflect the latest research results in this area as well as provide readers with an extensive overview of the latest composite materials and serve as a valuable reference for further research.

This book collects papers from ICESTA-2021 organized by the Centre of Excellence for Electrical Energy Storage Technology, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia, held online on October 27, 2021. The conference focused on activities related to the development of advanced and state-of-the-art energy storage technologies to support electric vehicles and renewable energy. The collection of papers from ICESTA-2021 comprised in this book dedicates to research on materials used in energy storage and conversion devices including materials synthesizing, optimisation and characterization.

The 15th conference on metallography was held on September 21-23, 2021, in Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic. It was focused on the application of metallography in industrial practice - for the solution of production problems, elucidation of premature failure of machine components and constructions during service, breakdowns or accidents. In addition, some results of new research projects which could improve manufacturing technology or the quality of machine products were presented. Among other contributions from the conference collected in this book, individual papers deal with failure causes and fracture mechanisms, insufficient material properties and incorrect function of the components. Using metallographic analyses, which include light and electron microscopy, spectroscopic methods, and physical methods for the detection of defects, material structures are also investigated. Results are correlated with material properties, and recommendations for production improvement are given.

With the rapid development of engineering and technology, there are many new research approaches to be validated, probing questions to be asked, and fresh ideas to be discussed. Following this rapid trend, MST-S has done a lot of work in promoting information exchange in advanced research and development of engineering and technology. This book contains articles from MST-S 2022 (August 13-15, 2022, Xiamen, China) and presents recent and important results of developments in materials science, with a focus on metallurgical technologies, alloys, technologies of materials processing, polymers, composites, and methods of computational materials science.
