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.

Following a standing tradition that began in 1987 in Germany, The International Workshop on Positron Studies of Defects (PSD-24) was held in the Sala Bianca of the Teatro Sociale di Como, Italy, from September 1 to 6, 2024.The workshop aimed to provide a platform for the exchange of the latest scientific results and developments concerning positron interactions with solids and surfaces, the applied techniques, and their diverse applications. An intensive two-day Summer School in honour of Alfredo Dupasquier was held at the Brunate Library on August 31st and September 1st, prior to the PSD-24. The School featured lectures delivered by leading international experts in Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS).

The idea of the 12th Annual International Conference on Material Science and Engineering (ICMSE2024, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, July 26-28, 2024) was for the scientists, engineers and students all around the world to present ongoing results of research activities, and hence to foster technical sciences and relations between the researchers and the industry. The presented research results will be useful for people whose activity is related to materials science, mechanical engineering, construction, and the practical application techniques of big data processing and artificial intelligence.

The book contains papers based on research results presented at the International Conference on Magnetism and Its Applications (ICMIA 2024, September 5-6, 2024, Yogyakarta, Indonesia) and will be of interest to many specialists in materials science.

This book contains articles based on research results that the authors presented at the 10th International Conference on Composite Materials and Material Engineering (ICCMME 2025) and the 15th International Conference on Advanced Materials Research (ICAMR 2025), which were held 8-10 January 2025 in Seoul, South Korea. The presented research results will be helpful for researchers and engineers in mechanical engineering, construction and chemical technologies.
