Description: This collection contains papers that were presented at the 9th International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Technology (ICMST 2018, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 11-13, 2018). We hope this collection will be useful and interesting for engineers and researchers in the area of materials science and materials processing technologies.

Description:

This volume presents the recent research progress in the synthesis, characterization techniques, properties and interactions of nanostructured materials for multifunctional applications. The opportunity to apply singular or hybrid nanomaterials proves to be a constant challenge in order to optimize its use, achieving simultaneous results for its application in different branches of research. It is focused on the study of structures and their effect on the properties of solids, using different experimental techniques and practical applications of nanostructured materials in the context of the latest achievements in the area of research of solid-state phenomena.

Description: The 15th International conference on Semi-Solid Processing of Alloys and Composites (S2P) are dedicated to the science and technology of semi-solid processing of metals, alloys and composites. Since the discovery of the distinctive flow behavior of metals in the semi-solid state during the early seventies, this fascinating technology has experienced a dynamic and turbulent development history, which has led to a whole family of new production processes, new equipment, and industrial applications with the goal of exploiting this characteristic flow behavior for technical and economic benefits.

Description: The presented volume contains the scientific articles selected by results of the 4th International Conference on Industrial Engineering (4th ICIE, May 15-18, 2018, Moscow, Russian Federation) which reflect the current achievements in area of materials science, metallurgy, metalworking technologies, polymers, composite materials, ceramics, building materials and chemical technologies. We hope that this collection will be useful and interesting for engineers and researchers from mentioned branches of the engineering science.

Description: This volume contains peer-reviewed papers collected by results of the 35th International Conference of the Microscopy Society of Thailand (MST35, Thailand, from 30th January till 2nd February 2018) and presents to readers the modern techniques of application of the microscopy and microanalysis in materials research for instance steel, alloys, glass-ceramics, biomaterials and nanomaterials.

Description: The 14th International Symposium on Ultra Clean Processing of Semiconductor Surfaces (14th UCPSS 2018, Leuven, Belgium, September 3-5, 2018) was organized by IMEC and the scope of this symposium includes all issues related to contamination, cleaning and surface preparation in mainstream large-scale Integrated Circuit manufacturing. This collection will be interesting and useful for experts in the field of microelectronics.

Description: This book contains the papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC-10), which was held from November 4 to 7, 2017, in Nanchang, China. The Collection covers most aspects in the field of high-performance ceramics (advanced ceramics), including processing, microstructures, and properties of structural and functional ceramics. Especially, the papers gave an overview of the most recent development in high-performance ceramics in China.
