Description: In this edition of "Advances in Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials V" diffusion phenomena in solids and liquids with a special focus on characterization of diffusion processes and corresponding experimental and numerical techniques is addressed. Diffusion and diffusion related processes play an important role in the development of advanced engineering materials and associated fields. In-depth knowledge of these different transport phenomena at many levels, from nano to macro, has therefore long attracted the attention of many researchers in materials science and engineering and related disciplines. The present topical volume captures an extensive cross-section of some of the recent progress in mass and thermal diffusion and related areas. Reflecting the enormous breadth of the field, the range of topics covered is accordingly very large.

Description: This special volume of the journal Defect and Diffusion Forum is entitled: Advances in Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials IV. It continues the general theme of how mass and heat diffusion in solids and liquids occur and how these phenomena can be controlled. We start from mass and heat migration at the microscale and carry it through to the macroscale.

Description: Safe and sustainable nanotechnology, a theme of this collection, is a challenging issue that needs to be discussed in a view of frontier technology for the future. Nanotechnology applications with safety concern are a key to sustainable development. The volume contains 19 peer reviewed papers covering the multiple meanings of the term advanced materials in micro and nanoscale for future sustainability. We hope the reader will both enjoy and find valuable up-to-date information on the topic at hand.

Description: This periodical edition includes peer-reviewed scientific and engineering papers on all aspects of research in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnologies and wide practical application of the achieved results.
