Advanced Materials Science and Technology, IFAMST 2008

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Lu (Hong Kong Polytechnic U.) introduces this collection of 44 peer-reviewed papers, including six invited papers, from the 6th International Forum on Advances Material Science and Technology (FAMST) held during June 12-14, 2008 at his campus. With the primary focus on nanostructures and nanostructured materials, papers cover topics including biomaterials; aerospace, magnetic, polymer/composite materials, and construction materials; materials evaluation technology; materials processing; and the mechanical behavior of materials. Papers provide historical background on carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials whose mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal properties are being used in ever-increasing applications. FAMST advisory committee members are listed.
