The book is a collection of selected papers presented at the 7th International Conference on “Nanotechnology”, held from October 7 to 11, 2024, in Tbilisi, Georgia, and organised by the Georgian Technical University. The published conference papers focus on the development of production methods, the study of the structure and composition, as well as the physical and chemical properties of advanced materials, including functional nanomaterials.

This edition contains papers that were presented at the 8th International Conference on Materials Design and Applications (ICMDA 2025) and 4th International Conference on Advanced Nanomaterials and Nanodevices (ICANN 2025), which were held at Kyoto Advanced University of Science in Kyoto, Japan and devoted to latest findings, innovative ideas, and advancements in the field of materials science and engineering. The publication will be beneficial for many researchers and engineers in the fields of machinery, materials science, chemical production, and construction.

The International and National Seminar on Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (BKPMM-SENAMM XVI 2023, Kota Balikpapan, Indonesia, 2023) was focused on advancing research and innovation in materials, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and construction with an emphasis on sustainable engineering practices and green technologies. The collected articles will be helpful for a wide range of engineers and researchers.

The 13th International Conference on Materials Science and Engineering Technology (ICMSET 2024) was held in Nagoya, Japan, from November 22 to 24, 2024, and provided a global platform for experts and scholars in all related fields to communicate and explore frontier technologies.

These selected articles were presented at the 6th International Symposium on Infrastructure Development 2023 (ISID 2023, 23-24 August 2023), hosted by the Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Hasanuddin University, Indonesia. The topics of the presented research results related to the construction industry and environmental engineering, including also water resource management and assessment of technogenic risks and mitigation of natural disasters.

Selected peer-reviewed extended articles based on abstracts presented at the 21 International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM 2024).

This edition comprises articles presented at the 6th International Conference on Advances in Materials, Mechanical and Manufacturing (AMMM 2024) and the 13th International Conference on Engineering and Innovative Materials (ICEIM 2024), which were held on September 6-8, 2024, in Tokyo, Japan. The book included articles representing the latest research results in materials science, materials processing technologies, and the development of methods and solutions for designing in mechanical engineering.

With a long tradition, the International Scientific Conference on Materials and Technologies for Defence and Security (MaTeDaS 2024, 9-10 October 2024, Trenčín, Slovakia) was focused on materials and technologies for producing special equipment. Thematically, it highlighted research results in engineering technologies of welding, casting, forming, machining, surface treatments, modern additive technologies, and new modelling and simulation approaches. From the point of view of materials, the research mainly focused on metal materials, ceramics, composites, polymer materials, which are important for the automotive industry, as well as multifunctional smart materials that can be used as actuators, sensors, vibration dampers, stabilisers of structural elements, etc. In these areas, the exchange of experience is one of the means of contributing to the development of the technical level and the quality of material equipment in the field of special technology. This edition will be helpful for many specialists in modern machinery and materials science.
