This text provides a reference for researchers and production engineers in industry. It covers a "hot" topic with important applications for energy saving and ecological issues. Basic knowledge of raw materials, evaluation and applications of porous materials are described along with the latest production methods of porous materials including sintering methods, sol-gel processing, and leaching. This interdisciplinary book thus provides a comprehensive and systematic coverage of porous materials. The text has been developed from short courses run at Materials Research Society meetings. This book should be of interest to university libraries, research laboratories and production engineers in industry.

This book is a compilation of papers presented at Symposium 5, Advanced Structural Materials, held at the XVIII International Materials Research Congress 2009 in Cancun, Mexico. The symposium was co-organized by the Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales (MRS-Mexico) and the Materials Research Society (MRS). The book is devoted to fundamental and technological applications of structural materials, and features scientists from various backgrounds with a common interest in the development and use of structural materials. In particular, the presentations offer overview and recent investigations related to advanced structural metallic, ceramic and composite materials. Topics include: innovative processing; phase transformations; mechanical properties; oxidation resistance; modeling; and the relationship between processing, microstructure and mechanical behavior. Papers on industrial application and metrology are also included.

Approximately four million years of human history has passed. We have been using materials to make a variety of tools. The first materials used were naturally occurring materials such as animal bones, stones, wood etc.; and some of these familiar materials are porous. Porous materials are so familiar that they are sometimes forgotten or ignored. The taste experience of ice cream is created not only by adjusting ingre­ dients, but also by including air as an ingredient, i.e. pores that give the smooth texture of ice cream. This book is designed to describe and explain about pores, the synthesis of materials with pores (porous materials), and applications of porous materi­ als. This book is intended for engineers and scientists of different disciplines and specialities, and is expected to be useful in the design and synthesis of porous materials for existing as well as potential new applications. Let us rediscover pores. K. Ishizaki, S. Komameni and M. Nanko January 1998 1 Introduction 1.1 WHAT ARE POROUS MATERIALS? Porous materials are dermed as solids containing pores. Figure 1.1 shows different porous materials. Generally speaking, porous materials have a porosity of 0.2-0.95. The porosity means the fraction of pore volume to the total volume. Porous materials have been used in various applications from daily necessities, such as purifying drinking water by activated carbon or porous ceramics, to uses in modern industries, for example removing dusts from high purity process gases for semiconductor production.

This book presents selected, peer-reviewed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Material, Machines and Methods for Sustainable Development (MMMS2024), held in the city of Da Nang, Vietnam, from September 18 to 21, 2024. The conference establishes a comprehensive understanding of the key elements that drive sustainable development, with a particular focus on materials, machinery, and methodologies. Building on this foundation, the conference seeks to provide a holistic approach that guides policymakers, industries, and researchers in aligning local technological advancements with global sustainable development objectives. This alignment is intended to support informed decision-making that prioritizes greener solutions, particularly in relation to materials, machinery, and methods.The papers presented in Volume 1 of this proceedings collection reflect cutting-edge advancements in the fields of materials science and mechanical engineering. Contributions from scholars, research institutions, and industry experts cover a diverse range of topics, including electrodeposition of advanced alloys, optimization of 3D printing parameters for enhanced part quality, and deep learning models for surface roughness assessment. Significant attention is given to material innovations such as platinum-doped tin dioxide synthesis, as well as advanced modeling techniques for piezoactive composites used in energy harvesting systems.In the realm of mechanical engineering, several papers explore critical challenges such as the design and analysis of planetary gear systems with brakes, the development of non-circular gears for electric vehicle gearboxes, and the impact of mathematical transformers on predicting the limit strength of composite columns. Other contributions address structural responses of hybrid steel fiber-reinforced concrete under various conditions and advanced methodologies like using generative design for mechanical products.A significant portion of the research emphasizes material modeling, eco-material technologies, and sustainable manufacturing processes, with applications ranging from aerospace components to energy-efficient ship structures.
