This book introduces readers to research results in materials science for many industries. The research results in environmental engineering, properties of fire-resistance materials and materials for opto- and microelectronics, chemical production technologies and mechanical properties of structural elements in construction are the topics of this special edition.
This book contains papers presented at the 25th International Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2022, 27-29 April 2022, Portugal). The European Scientific Association for material FORMing - ESAFORM - is a non-profit scientific association founded in January 1997 with the aim of propagating knowledge and advances in topics connected to forming processes for all types of structural materials. The present volume covers a wide range of research results and engineering solutions in technologies of materials forming and will be useful for many researchers and engineers from the machinery production area.
The wide use of additive manufacturing and the development of fuel cell technologies are the mainstream topics in modern machinery and energy supply. Some research results on these issues are presented in a special section of this publication. The book will be interesting for many specialists whose activities are connected to materials and concerned technologies.
This volume includes articles introducing the readers to the latest results of research and practical solutions in the field of applied nanomaterials science, technologies of their synthesis and technologies of 3D printing. Collected papers will be helpful for specialists from many branches of modern production.
Analysis of microstructure and properties of polymers, composites, structural metals, and functional ceramics are the main topics of this edition. Analysis of welding processes and electric arc surfacing and results of computational materials science studies are also presented. This book will be interesting for various categories of engineers and researchers from the area of applied materials science.
Fibers and fabrics are currently often used as a reinforcing element in the production of various composite materials, which are often used in mechanical engineering and in the construction sector. A separate chapter is devoted to textile reinforcing materials.
Environmental problems in textile production are mainly related to the dyeing process and the chemical treatment of fabrics and fibers. Some aspects of textile dyeing and wastewater treatment processes are also discussed in this publication.
The research results and real engineering developments in the field of modern technical textiles are presented to readers in this contribution. Smart textile, specific features of fabrics based on conductive polymers, use of special yarn coating for functionalisation of knitted fabric, the improvement of the textile thermal isolation properties, and composite reinforcing by textile materials are some topics of this book.
The results of research and real engineering developments in the field of modern engineering materials and technologies, including functional materials, materials for sensors and mechatronics, building materials based on second raw materials, technologies of wastewater treatment, and some technologies of materials processing are presented to readers in this issue.
