The 61st conference Materials Science and Applied Chemistry (MSAC 2020, 23 October 2020, Riga, Latvia) brought together leading scientists, researchers, and doctoral students from six different countries. Several Latvian scientific and higher education institutions took part in the conference and presented their research results: Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry; University of Latvia; RTU Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Transport and Aeronautics; RTU Faculty of Civil Engineering; RTU Faculty of Materials Science and Applied Chemistry. The conference covered many research directions such as valorization of biomass, inorganic materials; composite materials; binders; drug delivery systems; biotechnological processes, synthesis, and solid-phase studies of organic compounds, to name but a few.
The world population keeps increasing, and this growth has enormously impacted the environment negatively. Researchers all over the world have continually seeking different ways by which the negative impact of the global increasing population can be minimized including developing new technologies to accommodate the high population. The use of plastic has increased, wastes are taking land spaces, which could be used for other purposes such as building and farming, water bodies are been polluted leading to poor access to portable water, and food shortage has been experienced in many communities. The research presented in this book cut across Machine Design, Technologies of Environmental Engineering and Bioprocessing, Materials and Technologies in Construction, Information and Communication Technologies, and Engineering and Project Management. These researches if implemented would go a long way in providing sustainable and lasting solutions to these challenges.
This volume presents the third series of Advanced Materials Science compiled by the results of the 3rd International Conference on Advanced Materials Science (ICOAMS 2020, 8-9 December 2020, Indonesia). Presented articles reflect the wide range of scientific research results and engineering solutions in materials science and materials processing technologies.
