In the modern practice of materials science, an important place is occupied by polymer and composite materials. Their synthesis, analysis of properties as well as methods and possible areas of use are constantly being improved and expanded. The useful information presented in the chapter on polymer and composite materials will be interesting and helpful to readers dealing with such materials.
Modern technologies and materials in agrochemical production and food processing are aimed at intensifying agricultural production and increasing the efficiency of storage and processing of food products, which in modern conditions is very important in terms of ensuring food security. Part of the presented book is also devoted to the topic of agrochemistry and food processing.
In line with sustainable development, biotechnologies play a significant role, providing a reduction in the harmful burden on the environment through the use of bio-raw materials and bio-components in the technological process. Some issues related to the development of new and improvement of known biotechnological production processes are discussed in the corresponding chapter.
In the presented edition, the reader will also find a section related to research in the field of pharmacochemistry and devoted to studying of properties, synthesis, extraction, purification of substances used or that can potentially be used in medicine.
This publication is of interest to specialists in the field of chemical synthesis of materials and chemical production.
This volume presents papers from the 3rd Postgraduate Symposium on Industrial Science and Technology (SISTEC 2021, 25-26 August 2021, online, Malaysia). This collection contains engineering research results on materials science and materials processing technology.
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.
