This volume includes seven chapters that present recent advances in materials science research. Chapter One explores metal-based antioxidant nanomaterials and their potential role in regulating the oxidative stress response of spondyloarthritis. Chapter Two deals with the in situ synthesis and characterization of anaphoretic multifunctional coatings on titanium with advanced properties. Chapter Three presents the basics of the development of sensors with zeolites and their applications. Chapter Four reviews the methods of synthesis and electrochemical applications of graphite and its analogues. Chapter Five includes a brief overview of the obtaining of pyrite, its applications, efficiency and the mechanisms of its actions in different processes and devices. Chapter Six reviews coprecipitation, which is one of the principal synthetic methodologies used to prepare magnetic nanoparticles, followed by coating them with silica and their applications in catalytic reactions. Lastly, Chapter Seven uses a full factorial design to identify the factors in thermomechanical processes that affect the mechanical properties of low carbon steel rebars.
