Scientific Books Collection

This book compiles the collective expertise and forward-thinking research results which were presented at two distinguished gatherings: the 9th International Conference on Materials Engineering and Nanoscience (ICMENS 2025) and the 9th International Conference on Materials Engineering and Manufacturing (ICMEM 2025). Held jointly in Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan, from March 21 to 24, 2025, these conferences brought together leading researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and students from around the world to explore the latest advancements in materials science, nanotechnology, and manufacturing technologies.

This book contains selected contributions presented at the 16th international conference “Contribution of Metallography to Production Problem Solutions” (16th ICMPPS) held on 4 – 6 September 2024 in Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic. The conference focused on the application of metallography in industrial practice, specifically for solving production problems, elucidating 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 are presented. Individual papers address the causes of failure, fracture mechanisms, insufficient material properties, and incorrect component function. This edition will be helpful for specialists in materials science, metallurgy and materials treatment technologies.

This book presents the transactions of the maiden edition of the University of Namibia (UNAM) International Engineering Conference on Sustainable Emerging Innovations and Technological Advancements, tagged "UNAM IEC-2024", which was held on 02 - 04 December 2024 at the Jose Eduardo Dos Santos (JEDS) Ongwediva Engineering Campus of the University of Namibia. The edition features results of cutting-edge research and technological advancements in sustainable engineering, with a focus on emerging innovations that address global challenges in energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, materials, and digital technologies. The book serves as a valuable resource for academics and engineers seeking to integrate sustainability into engineering and technological development.

The book includes articles based on the research results presented at the 2025 15th International Conference on Key Engineering Materials (ICKEM 2025, 11-13 March 2025, Portugal). The edition will be helpful for specialists in materials engineering.

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.
