This volume contains papers that reflect the last research results in the area of building materials, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites, modern materials and technologies in dye-sensitized solar cells production and chemical technologies in biodiesel production, natural gas processing, and environmental engineering. The collection was compiled from papers presented at the International UNIMAS Engineering Conference on Advanced Materials (ENCON 2018, Kuching, Malaysia, on September 12-14, 2018) and will be useful and interesting for many specialists from the mentioned areas of engineering sciences.

Bioceramics 30

Edited by: Chikara Ohtsuki, Hitoshi Hirata, Ayae Sugawara-Narutaki, Masakazu KAWASHITA and Masanobu Kamitakahara

Online since: October 2018

Description: This volume contains papers corresponding to communications presented at 30th Symposium and Annual Meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine (ISCM, October 26‒29, 2018, Nagoya, Japan) and it continues the tradition of the Bioceramics series offering, generally to young researchers, the ability to publish the work they are eager to present to the community of specialists participating in the meeting. The originality of the Bioceramics series is that the papers are available before the meeting to allow deeper, more detailed discussions than those occurring in classical meetings where exchanges are often hampered by the limited time devoted to presentations. These papers might not be perfect, but we believe that the basis for the discussions they provide is irreplaceable.

Bioceramics 29

Edited by: Christian Rey, Christèle Combes and Dr. Christophe Drouet

Online since: November 2017

Description: This book collects 47 papers corresponding to communications presented at 29th Symposium and Annual Meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine (ISCM, October 25-27, 2017, Toulouse, France), one focus article related to the plenary lecture given by Corrado Piconi on bioinert ceramics, and 46 contributions, related to oral and poster communications on the different topics of the meeting, organized in six different chapters. This book continues the tradition of the Bioceramics series offering, generally to young researchers, the ability to publish the work they are eager to present to the community of specialists participating to the meeting. The originality of the Bioceramics series is that the papers are available before the meeting to allow deeper, more detailed discussions than those occurring in classical meetings where exchanges are often hampered by the limited time devoted to presentations.
