Advances in Grinding and Abrasive Technology XVI
Eds. Feng Zhu, Xipeng Xu and Renke Kang
Key Engineering Materials Vol. 487
The papers were selected for this volume on the basis of their
quality and relevance to the topic of abrasive technology. The
volume presents the reader with recent advances in the field
of abrasive technology; including the mechanics and control
of abrasive processes, modeling, simulation and optimization
of abrasive processes, green and clean production in abrasive
processes, measurement and surface-quality assessment, cooling
and coolants, polishing, wheel-truing and dressing, novel abrasive
techniques and novel machining techniques. It will therefore be of
great value to production and research engineers, research students
and academics working in the field.

Advances in Innovative Materials and Applications
Eds. Maher Soueidan, Mohamad Roumié and Pierre Masri
Advanced Materials Research Vol. 324
This volume is divided into 3 chapters. The first, focused on Materials
and Elaboration Techniques, describes various types of material
such as composites, polymers, semiconductors, metals, ceramics,
bio-materials, inorganic alloys, textile, porous, crystalline, amorphous
and hybrids elaborated by various means such as vapor-phase,
liquid-phase, plasma, ion-based and laser-assisted techniques,
soft chemistry, self- assembly, bonding, sintering, and including
bulk, surface, interface, thin-film and nano-materials. The second
chapter, on Characterization Techniques and Properties, covers
both physical (optical, structural, electrical, mechanical, magnetic,
damage, aging…) and chemical (surface and bulk composition,
imaging, impurity, reactivity, catalysis, aging, oxidation, corrosion)
aspects. The last chapter, Applications, focuses on subjects such as:
(i) environment and energy (renewable energy, storage and energy
conversion, transport), (ii) health, biomedical and life science, (iii)
electronic devices and systems (micro-nano electronics, power
electronics, photonics and optoelectronics, systems, storage and
heat management) and (iv) cultural heritage (e.g. archeology).

Advances in Key Engineering Materials
Ed. Zeng Zhu
Advanced Materials Research Vol. 214
These proceedings consist of the fully refereed papers presented at
the International Conference on Key Engineering Materials (ICKEM
2011) held on March 25 - 27, 2011 in Sanya, China. The main aim
was to provide an international scientific forum for the exchange
of new ideas in a number of fields via in-depth discussions with
peers from around the world. Both inward research; core areas of
key engineering materials and outward research; multi-disciplinary,
inter-disciplinary, and applications are covered in this timely work.

Advances in Liquid Crystals
Ed. Yuan Ming Huang
Key Engineering Materials Vols. 428-429
Liquid crystals are substances that have properties which are
intermediate between those of a conventional liquid and those of a
solid crystal. This special collection comprises peer-reviewed papers
that are concerned with all aspects of liquid crystal science and
technology. The volume consists of five parts: plenary lectures, the
molecular design and synthesis of liquid crystals, the characterization
of liquid crystals, the applications of liquid crystals, and the emerging
technologies and materials relevant to information display. The
information contained in this special volume will serve both as an
Current Publications (alphabetically)
educational aid and as a technical guide for anyone involved with
liquid crystals from the viewpoint of materials science, physics,
chemistry and information display.

Advances in Magnetic Shape Memory Materials
Ed. V.A. Chernenko
Materials Science Forum Vol.684
This second Special Topic edition follows the success of the first one:
edited and published by TTP in 2008. It is intended to communicate
the latest progress and research advances made in the theory,
research and development of MSMMs. It comprises a collection
of fifteen invited peer-reviewed papers; each detailing a particular
aspect of fundamental and/or practical investigations of MSMMs and
related phenomena. The comprehensive overview provided by these
contributions strikingly reflects the diverse facets of this materials
science field. The papers show how research is continuing to evolve
and to address new challenges, and are a source of the most upto-date
information on ongoing studies of MSMMs.

Advances in Materials and Processing Technologies
Eds. M.S.J. Hashmi, S. Mridha and S. Naher
Advanced Materials Research Vols. 265-266
Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research
in Engineering Science and Technology, which have to focus on
bridging the critical gap between researchers and engineers in
order to shape the new world. 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,
in order to create technologies for a rapidly expanding range of
materials and manufacturing processes. A large proportion of the
present papers addressed current scientific research and provided
solutions to industrial problems; thereby creating an environment of
mutual interest to industry and academia. The papers are grouped
into 10 chapters: 1. Forming Processes, 2. Casting, Joining and
Related Processes, 3. Materials, 4. Materials Removal Processes,
5. High Energy Beam Removal Process, 6. Precision Engineering
and Nano-Technology, 7. Surface Engineering, 8. Computer-Aided
Engineering, 9. Green Manufacturing and Management, 10. Others.
This comprehensive coverage will be much appreciated by readers.
