The main aim of the 9-th Cross-Strait Conference on Engineering Materials (National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan, 7-8 November, 2014) was presentation of fundamental studies, applied research and development and industrial applications of the different engineering materials including metals and alloys, materials for energy production, nanomaterials, environmental materials, biomaterials, polymeric materials, ceramics, electronic materials, and composites.
Functional materials are generally characterized as those materials which possess the particular native properties and functions, including electrical, magnetic, optical, thermotic, acoustic, mechanic, chemical, biological functions. The development of functional materials is at the heart of technological needs and the forefront of materials research.
