Advanced materials are engineered to exhibit novel properties that confer superior performance in comparison with conventional materials. The performance of advanced materials is associated with toughness, hardness, and durability that can be used for high technological applications such as semiconductors, biomaterials, smart materials, or nanomaterials.Advanced Materials: Production, Characterization and Multidisciplinary Applications is focused on novel approaches for production of graphene and other 2D materials along with characterization techniques, discussing a wide range of applications in multidisciplinary areas of science and engineering. It provides a guiding light in the production, synthesis, and characterization of advanced materials by implementing appropriate techniques. The book has a multidisciplinary approach covering applications in electronics (sensors), engineering, biotechnology, medical (e.g., cancer treatment, drug delivery, cellular imaging), and biomedical (smart implants, drug delivery, and DIY health testing kits) fields. The authors cover the primary information of advanced and other 2D materials related to their production or synthesis via various methods, ranging from conventional to non‑conventional – such as lithography, photolithography (computer chips), electron beam lithography, etching, atomic layer deposition, chemical vapor deposition, hydrothermal process, and electrospinning, along with some comparative investigations. It also covers a comparison study over the current and future perspectives of advanced and other 2D materials.This book is aimed at researchers, academics, and professionals who are interested in understanding the novel approaches for synthesis of advanced materials.

This book covers manufacturing in the current context of Industry 4.0 and the impending era of Industry 5.0 exploring the path established by the manufacturing sector including developments, constraints, difficulties, and solutions. The importance of sustainability in the manufacturing sector, particularly in the context of Industry 4.0, is the focus. The difficulties in implementing Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 and providing advice on how to get past these barriers are also discussed including sustainable methods and approaches to deal with environmental issues.Covers robotics, IoT, additive manufacturing, sustainability, and machine learning for productivity and quality in digital age manufacturingIncludes case studies based on real world aspects and research and innovations in the field of digitalization and optimization of manufacturingCovers sustainability interventions in the digital age manufacturingExplains product design and development in the era of Industry 4.0 and 5.0Reviews data management and policy-based aspectsThis book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mechanical, industrial, and production engineering.
