Advanced Materials and Sustainable Development

The interdisciplinary field of materials science, also commonly termed materials science and engineering, covers the design and discovery of new materials, particularly solids.

The sustainable development can be support through the development of green materials For instance, green materials can be developed as a source for energy production. Green materials including biomass-based source can be developed as a source for biodiesel and bioethanol production.

Building material is material used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, wood, and even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings

This book focuses on advanced processing of new and emerging materials, and advanced manufacturing systems based on thermal transport and fluid flow

In this first comprehensive compilation of review chapters on this hot topic, more than 30 experts from around the world provide in-depth chapters on their specific areas of expertise covering such

Emergent Materials aims to publish a series of high quality and high impact research articles that reflect and bring the best research, at the forefront of the materials

Functional materials can be any type of specially designed material with a determined function: semiconductors, polymers, molecular crystals or nanoparticles are good examples of them

Smart Materials and Structures is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering technical advances in smart materials, systems, structures and device engineering

Polymer science and engineering is a multidisciplinary STEM field focused on this special class of molecules Polymer materials are ubiquitous in almost every aspect of modern life, and advances in the field enable scientific and technological breakthroughs in a wide range of technical applications

"Electronic, Magnetic, and Optical Materials delivers what it promises: a comprehensive overview of the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of a wide

Glass-ceramics are produced by crystallizing a glass to produce a polycrystalline material They have considerable potential as the matrices of composites due to their relatively low processing temperatures compared with those required for engineering ceramic matrices

A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose, either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair, or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic one As a science, biomaterials is about fifty years old

It provides a broad-based forum for the exchange of real-world and theoretical knowledge from academia, government and industry that is pertinent to mining, mineral/metallurgical processing, exploration and other fields covered by the Society

Advanced Energy Materials is a peer reviewed scientific journal covering energy-related research, including photovoltaics, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, hydrogen technologies, thermoelectrics, photocatalysis, solar power technologies, magnetic refrigeration, and piezoelectric materials

Graphene has been hailed as a miracle material with the potential to revolutionize 3D printingThe founders of Graphene 3D Lab took advantage of the fact that graphene in the form of nano platelets can be mixed with thermoplastics commonly used in FFF/FDM 3D printers

Crystallography is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids (see crystal structure)The final plot allows the symmetry of the crystal to be established Crystallographic methods now depend on analysis of the diffraction patterns of a sample targeted by a beam of some type

A superconductor is a material that acts strangely when cooled down to a certain temperature When these materials reach their critical temperature they suddenly become perfect conductors A semiconductor on the other hand , is a material that has a conductivity somewhere between that of a conductor and an insulator

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, tires, textiles, batteries, and electronics. The composting and other reuse of biodegradable waste—such as food and garden waste—is also a form of recycling
