Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
MFMS 2010, held in September, in Jeonju, Korea, was the third such conference, and this two-volume set contains the proceedings. Approximately 400 papers are arranged in thematic sections addressing topics that include advanced composites and their applications, biomaterials and biomimetics, damage identification, modeling and analysis, nano-materials, non-destructive evaluation technology, smart materials and structures, tribology, materials for fuel cells and solar cells, and natural fiber composites. A more specific sampling of topics: polymerization shrinkage of dental restoration material in cavities, the dynamics of flower head movement in bio-system, the synthesis and characterization of silk fiber reinforced cepu composites, magnetic field actuation of shape memory nanocomposites, the effect of ceramic fillers on mechanical properties of bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy composites, fully degradable jute fiber reinforced polylactide composites applicable to car interiors, and studies of natural rubber grafted with acrylic monomers. A keyword index and an author listing complete the presentation.
