We are pleased to announce two Materials Travel Awards (800 CHF each) that will assist junior scientists in attending international conferences of their choice in 2020. The applications will be assessed by an Evaluation Committee chaired by the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Maryam Tabrizian.


The 4th International Conference on Materials: Advanced and Emerging Materials (ICM2020)

This conference will be held in the beautiful city of Barcelona from 14 to 16 October 2020. All stakeholders working on various aspects of materials science and material engineering are welcomed to join us and share your findings on various topics related to materials, such as:

  • Materials Characterization
  • Nanotechnology in Material Sciences and Engineering
  • Materials Processing and Manufacturing
  • Biomaterials
  • Fibers and Membranes
  • Optical, Electrical and Magnetic Materials

We are very enthusiastic about this 4th Materials Conference and are relying on you to make it a successful event. More information is coming at: https://sciforum.net/conference/ICM-AEM2020
We look forward to meeting you in Barcelona!

Machining—Recent Advances, Applications and Challenges

Editors: Luis Norberto López de Lacalle and Gorka Urbicain

Introduction: Machining using tools with a defined cutting edge is a basic technology for making car components, windmill components, aeroengine and fuselage elements, dies and molds, prosthesis, clocks and watches, and many other applications, combining precision and high productivity. Even new approaches, such as additive manufacturing, are not displacing machining as the only way to achieve precision and productivity. Machinists are realistic people, all the time considering that a good solution is not only for one specimen, but it must provide a sound and reliable solution for many similar pieces. That is why the new approaches related with Industry 4.0 concepts, or digitalization, or just the so-called IoT, can help to control the continuous processes of daily life production.
Multifunctional Oxide-Based Materials: From Synthesis to Application

Editors: Teofil Jesionowski and Filip Ciesielczyk

Introduction: The study and development of novel, oxide-based multifunctional materials with unique properties has become one of the most expanding fields in materials chemistry in recent years. The reason for this is that there are numerous inorganic/inorganic as well as inorganic/organic combinations that can be synthesized via different methods. The resulting mono-oxide and multicomponent systems or hybrids often possess exciting new properties for future materials and technological and environmental applications. This fact acts as a driving force for research and development of such systems. Even more importantly, these properties can be easily modified via the selection of hybrid components or via a typical functionalization process with the use of specific modifiers.
