The Baltic International Conferences on Materials Engineering and Tribology were initiated 19 years ago and focus on materials issues and tribological studies. During this period, BALTMATTRIB has become an open forum where researchers and engineers can exchange ideas, share thoughts and encourage development and cooperation in both basic and applied research in the fields of materials science, powder metallurgy, surface engineering and tribology.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The papers are conveniently arranged into: Chapter 1: Nano-photonics, Chapter 2: Active Optical Materials and Devices, Chapter 3: Adaptive Optics.

Description: This special collection provided an outlet for researchers to present the newest advances, scientific findings and technological developments in the field of eco-materials processing and design. The object to survey the current state-of-the-art and to foresee future trends in the field of eco-materials processing and design for energy, environment and related materials. Many fruitful and exciting research achievements were presented, both as fundamental topics and as applications such as solar sustainable energy, fuel-cells, photochemistry, porous materials, biomass, and bio-inspired technologies for improving microstructures and bulk properties.

During the past two decades, China (whose very name of course has long been synonymous with 'ceramic' in the English language) has continued its ancient history of technological excellence in this field by also becoming one of the most active centres of scientific excellence in the field of high- performance ceramics. Building upon the success of the first conference in the series, the Second China International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC-2) offered an international forum for the presentation, discussion and review of the latest advances in the science and technology of high-performance ceramics.

A total of 147 peer-reviewed papers were presented during EnCera' 98. The topics covered included: "Modeling of Microstructural Evolution", "Novel Processing", "Advanced Oxide Ceramics", "Advanced Non-oxide Ceramics", "Particulate, Platelet and Whisker Reinforced Composites", "Nanostructured Ceramics and Nanocomposites", "Synergy Ceramics", "Fracture, Deformation and Mechanical Reliability", "Advanced Refractories", and "Joining, FGM and Applications" .

Description: In the wake of the rapid progress made in ceramic science in recent years, advanced ceramic tools with superior mechanical properties have been developed, giving improved productivity, lower production costs and better workpiece quality. An introduction to the history, evolution, material properties, wear and fracture, processing technologies, and performance of various advanced ceramic tools has already been covered in Advanced Ceramic Tools for Machining Application - II.

Description: The review and research papers presented in this volume may be subdivided into three aims:
(i) the investigation and modelling of interfacial structure (ii) efforts to correlate structure/property relationships and (iii) phenomenological descriptions of particular interfacial properties The conference focussed on four objectives: 1.Grain Boundaries Structure and Properties 2.Dynamical and Mechanical Properties 3.Heterophase Interfaces 4.Electrical Properties and Superconductors.
