Description: This edition presents the compilation of research papers from the 8th International Conference on Materials Engineering and Nano Sciences (ICMENS 2024) and the 8th International Conference on Material Engineering and Manufacturing (ICMEM 2024), which were successfully held in Kwansei Gakuin University, Osaka, Japan, during March 22-25, 2024, to serve as a platform for experts, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to convene and exchange ideas and the latest advancements in materials science, mechanical engineering and construction. The book will be helpful to specialists in the mentioned branches of engineering practice.

Description: The advancement of material engineering over the last few decades has allowed for the development of modern metallic and ceramic construction materials, composites, nanomaterials and various kinds of coatings with desired performance characteristics. They form the basis for the development of the automotive industry, the aviation industry, the chemical equipment industry, etc. They can function in ever higher temperatures and aggressive environments. On the other hand, the advancement of electronics requires the development of new and cheaper materials: semiconductors, insulators, materials with magnetic, ferrimagnetic or piezoelectric properties, etc. The desired properties of materials or their surface layers depend on chemical composition, dopants, and the concentration of point defects, through which the transport of ions and electrons takes place. The functional properties also depend on the nuances of production technologies which allow to obtain a specific texture and a desired concentration of ionic and electronic point defects. The monograph follows up on the issues related to the concentration of charge carriers in pure and doped oxides. Based on the diagrams of the concentration of point defects, the calculation results of the concentration of charge carriers and their mobility are presented, using the results of the studies on the electrical conductivity and the thermoelectric power in some specific oxides of 3d metals. In turn, the results of calculations of the ionic defect diffusion coefficients, conducted using the coefficients of self-diffusion and chemical diffusion as well as the concentration of ionic defects in these oxides, are presented. The given material will be useful to a wide range of researchers and developers of new materials with a wide range of required properties.

Description: The following special edition is dedicated to the latest research findings and practical solutions in the field of structural materials and their processing, as well as chemical technologies for waste and biomass processing, food processing, and industrial measurements in textile manufacturing and will be valuable to many specialists in the field of recent manufacturing.

Description:

This compilation presents carefully selected peer-reviewed papers from the 2023 International Conference on Sustainable Engineering and Materials Development (ICSEMD 2023) which was successfully held in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, from May 28 to May 30, 2023. The conference brought together a diverse community of experts and leading researchers and provided a dynamic platform for engaging discussions and insightful presentations on various facets of sustainable engineering, with a particular emphasis on advanced materials, product development, mechanical, structural, and environmental engineering. The chapters within the presented proceeding include articles that reflect the latest results of engineering research and solutions in the area of sustainable development of modern engineering and production and will be useful to engineers in mechanical engineering and industrial engineering.

Description: 2023 8th International Conference on Mechanical Structures and Smart Materials (ICMSSM2023) was held from the 8th to the 9th of July, 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. The conference covered invited, oral, and poster presentations from scientists to establish platforms for collaborative research projects in the area of materials science, mechanical structures and functional and smart materials.

Description: This volume is compiled from materials presented at the 4th Padjadjaran International Physics Symposium (PIPS), which was held on November 13-14, 2019 in Bandung, Indonesia and reflects recent results in organics and inorganics materials for solar cells, materials for application in batteries and supercapacitors, modelling, synthesis, and characterization of new emerging advanced in magnetics materials and superconductors, carbon materials, ceramics, materials for biomedical practice, polymers and composites, and other functional materials.

Description: Increased clarity in our understanding of water vapor effects on oxidation is resulting from our recognition that multiple mechanisms are possible, and that distinctions must be drawn between situations where, on the one hand, molecular oxygen accompanies water vapor, and on the other, it does not, and instead free hydrogen can be present. It is a pleasure to welcome the contributions of this new book to this important field. Whilst the existence of a substantial French research effort in the area has been well known, the scale and extent of the effort comes as something of a surprise. The reason for this is apparent in the reference lists provided at the end of each chapter: much of the work is simply not available in the readily accessed literature. The book performs an important service in bringing these results to the attention of the wider research community. Overall, the book succeeds well in its aim of presenting an integrated view of water vapor effects on high temperature corrosion. Its organization into chapters concerned with different alloy classes is appealing, and the contents should prove useful to many readers.
