Description: With a long tradition, the International Scientific Conference on Materials and Technologies for Defence and Security (MaTeDaS 2024, 9-10 October 2024, Trenčín, Slovakia) was focused on materials and technologies for producing special equipment. Thematically, it highlighted research results in engineering technologies of welding, casting, forming, machining, surface treatments, modern additive technologies, and new modelling and simulation approaches. From the point of view of materials, the research mainly focused on metal materials, ceramics, composites, polymer materials, which are important for the automotive industry, as well as multifunctional smart materials that can be used as actuators, sensors, vibration dampers, stabilisers of structural elements, etc. In these areas, the exchange of experience is one of the means of contributing to the development of the technical level and the quality of material equipment in the field of special technology. This edition will be helpful for many specialists in modern machinery and materials science.

Description:
The book is devoted to scientific research results and analysis of practical findings on the technologies of preparation and applications of cement and other hydraulic, silicate, lime and gypsum-based binders. Particular attention was paid to studying the behaviour of these mentioned binders in different building materials such as concrete, inorganic insulation and solidified sludges. Here, the selected articles from the 20th International Conference Silicate Binders 2021 (Brno, Czech Republic) are collected.
