This edition collects research results and engineering solutions in materials science related to studying the mechanical properties and behaviour of elastomers, brittle polymeric material and dental implants made by 3D Printing technology. Readers will also be interested in the study of the mechanical behaviour of composite reinforced concrete beams and the simulation of the installation and jacking off a large steel grid project. The quantitative non-destructive evaluation of aircraft structures as well as the high-accuracy detection and classification of defects and deformation of metal screw heads are important for specialists in automatic technological monitoring. The results of the development and analysis of energy harvesting by the triboelectric nanogenerator and magnet-actuated piezoelectric harvester with results on error minimisation in robotic milling will be helpful to engineers in mechatronics and industrial robotics.
The development of photovoltaic technology is expected to solve problems related to energy shortages and environmental pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels. Dye-sensitizedsolar cells (DSSCs) are promising next-generation alternatives to conventional silicon-based photovoltaic devices owing to their low manufacturing cost and potentially high conversion efficiency. This special topic volume addresses recent advances in the research on dye-sensitized solar cells. The focus of this special topic volume is on materials development (sensitizers, nanostructured oxide films, and electrolyte), but commercialization. This work illustrates a new pathway to achieve highly efficient DSSCs for practical applications.
This volume covers all aspects of sustainable materials engineering on a fundamental and technological level, with focus on the materials recycling related industries. It addresses both technological and sustainability issues related with materials recycling and value adding waste or low-grade materials as well as reinforcing materials for products.

Heat transfer plays major role in many technical devises or in the formation of new materials. Heat transfer is based in three phenomena, namely conduction, convection and radiation. Understanding heat transfer at many levels, from atomic to macro, and its interaction with other physical phenomena has therefore long attracted the attention of many researchers in engineering and materials science and related disciplines. The present topical volume on "Heat Transfer Processes in Engineering Materials" captures a representative cross-section of some of the recent advances in the area of heat transfer. Reflecting the enormous breadth of the area, the range of topics covered is accordingly very large. Topics include the development and modification of the microstructure of materials. Technical applications such as casting problems, coal drying, air cooling systems and pyrolytic boilers. The prediction methods range from analytical to numerical methods such as the finite element method, the finite difference method and molecular dynamics simulation.
