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.

The NSCME conference is aimed at creating a forum allowing professors, researchers, experts, engineers and students worldwide an opportunity to discuss state-of-the-art technologies, exchange recent developments and new ideas, and share their research experiences in the fields of machining, materials, mechanical engineering and mechatronics. This book collects articles from the 6th NSCME, which was held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (November 2021). It will be helpful to many engineers whose activity is related to materials science, machining technologies, and mechanical engineering.

The 12th TIMA21 which was held in Timișoara, Romania, by videoconference (November 25-26, 2021), paid particular attention to practical problems in the area of new joining technologies, mechanical and structural characterization of advanced materials and joints, corrosion and assessment of damage state. The volume includes selected papers in which the authors reveal the results of their own research and development activity, carried out in the frame of their institutes, universities and economic field from Romania, Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Latvia.

The ICCS was held on November 29-30, 2021, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia to exchange experience and findings in the area related to chemical sciences. The collected papers reflect the latest research results in the field of chemical technologies of environmental protection and agricultural chemistry, electrochemical engineering and chemistry of food processing, modern biotechnologies, and pharmaceutical chemistry. The book will be helpful to specialists in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

This collection represents the results of engineering research in materials science and materials processing technologies for modern mechanical engineering and construction which were virtually presented during the ICMEMSCE 2021 held on December 6-7, 2021. The conference aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers, and scholar students to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of materials science in education, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted.

The NMCI 2021 Conference was organized for academic exchanges and discussions on a wide range of materials science and the chemical industry. The articles collected during the conference reflect the results of the last achievements in materials science and the development of materials processing technologies in various spheres of human activity. The findings cover a broad spectrum of materials science topics and will be interesting to many specialists involved in the field.
