Description: Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research in Engineering Science and Technology, and require a critical focus on bridging the gap between researchers and engineers. Advanced materials and processing play an increasingly important role in the global economy and in daily life. Researchers and engineers strive to develop new devices and processes, using mathematical and analytical tools to create technologies to handle the rapidly expanding range of materials and manufacturing processes. The Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies conference series creates a stimulating environment for the research collaboration of scholars at the local, national and international levels, contributes to the collective development of a knowledge-based society and economy.

Description: Polymers make up one of the three main raw material groups used in the modern world, together with metals and inorganic non-metallics. They are widely used in all fields of economic development and scientific & technological innovation, and continue to play an increasingly important role. As China’s modern manufacturing forges ahead, going from a large producing country to a powerful manufacturing state, the extent of the knowledge, the tendency to innovation and the technical skill brought to bear on advanced polymer processing increase daily. There is a trend towards rapid development involving high performance and environmental-friendliness, backed up by lots of new research performed by the scientific and engineering communities.

Description: Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) are multifunctional materials which exhibit spatial variations in composition and microstructure; created for the specific purpose of achieving variations in thermal, structural or functional properties. They are presently at the forefront of materials research and are receiving worldwide attention. They enjoy a broad range of application; including, for example, biomechanical, automotive, aerospace, mechanical, civil, nuclear and naval engineering. New applications are continually being discovered and developed.
