The Baltic International Conferences on Materials Engineering and Tribology were initiated 19 years ago and focus on materials issues and tribological studies. During this period, BALTMATTRIB has become an open forum where researchers and engineers can exchange ideas, share thoughts and encourage development and cooperation in both basic and applied research in the fields of materials science, powder metallurgy, surface engineering and tribology.

Description: The 31 peer-reviewed papers collected here together offer a plenitude of up-to-date information on “Advances in Silicate Ceramics”. The papers are conveniently arranged into SCIENCE OF SILICATE CERAMICS, INNOVATION IN THE SILICATE CERAMICS INDUSTRY, NANOTECHNOLOGY AND ADVANCED SOLUTIONS IN SILICATE CERAMICS, DECORATION, COLOUR AND DESIGN OF SILICATE CERAMICS.

Description: The aim of this special volume is to give an overview of the historical background and present status of eco-materials processing and design for materials research, and to foresee future trends in the field. Serious global and environmental problems have led the materials manufacturing industries to monitor closely the formation and accumulation of carbon dioxide and other deleterious gases in the atmosphere, as well to reduce raw materials use and energy consumption and limit other factors which reflect the environmental impact of the industry.

Ecomaterials, or "Green Materials", are those designed so as to minimize their environmental impact, while still maintaining or even increasing the desired operational performance. Ecomaterials research is an interdisciplinary field where scientists and engineers with backgrounds in both chemistry, and in materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and carbon, are involved in raising the environmental consciousness of industry and in motivating ecological research. This volume contains the papers presented during the fourth international symposium on ecomaterials processing and design, which was held on February 4-6, 2003 in Kangnung, Korea.

Description: This book focuses on treatment approaches that include a recycling loop for the water, nutrients, energy, and other resources in wastewater. The preliminary indications are that decentralized, re-circulating systems for wastewater treatment can be significantly cheaper than the building and maintaining of conventional systems.
