2013 serves as good platforms for academics, researchers, and engineers to meet and exchange innovative ideas and information on all aspects of nanotechnology and material technologies. Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale.Nanotechnology entails the application of fields of science as diverse as surface science, organicchemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, microfabrication, etc. There is much debateon the future implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology may be able to create many newmaterials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics,biomaterials and energy production. On the other hand, nanotechnology raises many of the sameissues as any new technology, including concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact ofnanomaterials, and their potential effects on global economics, as well as speculation about variousdoomsday scenarios. These concerns have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governmentson whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted.

The papers originate from both academia and industry and treat the topics of: traditional construction materials, advanced construction materials, green building materials, architectural design and its theory, urban planning and design, landscape planning and design, building energy saving technology and ecological architecture.

Description: This book, comprising peer-reviewed contributions, treats the subjects of Architectural Design and Theory, Building Technology Science, Urban Planning and Design, Ecological Architecture and Building Energy-Saving Technology, Traditional Constructional Materials, Advanced Construction Materials and other related topics.

Description: This special collection of papers covers fields including: Biomaterials and Tissues, Energy-Harvesting Materials and Energy-Transfer Materials, Optical and Electronic Materials, Superconductive and Magnetic Materials, Structural Materials, Polymer Materials, Composite Materials, Constructional Materials, Nanomaterials, Environmental and Green Materials. These selected articles focus on the latest developments in advanced materials. The proceedings will provide materials scientists and engineers with a comprehensive overview of the preparation, characterization, performance and application of materials.

Description: While iron and steel industries are the major users of refractory materials, applications in other areas such as power plants and waste incinerators are of growing importance. The appropriate use and maximum performance of the refractories cannot be achieved unless their interaction with the service environment is properly understood. The correlations between the microstructure of these materials and their thermochemical as well as thermomechanical properties greatly enhances this understanding.
