This volume contains 20 manuscripts presented during the Materials Science & Technology 2017 Conference (MS&T'17), held October 8-12, 2017 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PA. Papers from the following symposia are included in this volume: 9th International Symposium on Green and Sustainable Technologies for Materials Manufacturing and ProcessingAdvances in Dielectric Materials and Electronic DevicesConstruction and Building Materials for a Better EnvironmentInnovative Processing and Synthesis of Ceramics, Glasses and CompositesMaterials Issues in Nuclear Waste Management in the 21st CenturyMaterials Development for Nuclear Applications and Extreme EnvironmentsMaterials for Nuclear Energy ApplicationsNanotechnology for Energy, Healthcare and IndustryProcessing and Performance of Materials Using Microwaves, Electric and Magnetic Fields, Ultrasound, Lasers, and Mechanical Work – Rustum Roy SymposiumThese symposia provided a forum for scientists, engineers, and technologists to discuss and exchange state-of-the-art ideas, information, and technology on advanced methods and approaches for processing, synthesis, characterization, and applications of ceramics, glasses, and composites. Each manuscript was peer-reviewed using The American Ceramic Society's review process. The editors wish to extend their gratitude and appreciation to their symposium co-organizers, to all of the authors for their valuable submissions, to all the participants and session chairs for their time and effort, and to all the reviewers for their comments and suggestions. We hope that this volume will serve as a useful reference for the professionals working in the field of materials science.

This book, which has contributions from many well-known experts in the field of ceramics, American Ceramics Society Engineered Ceramics Division award recipients, technology leaders, and other members of the global ceramics community, presents perspectives on technological aspects of advanced ceramics, composites, and multifunctional materials for sustainable development.The book is divided into several sections covering a range of topics including; Materials Innovations in Energy Sector; Materials Innovations in Transportation Sector; Materials Innovations in Healthcare and Biotechnologies; Manufacturing Innovations for Greening of the Ceramics Manufacturing Process; Decarbonization: Engineered Multifunctional Materials for Tackling Net-Zero Emissions and Sustainability Issues; Role of AI and ML processes in Materials Innovations and Manufacturing; Ceramic Education, Training, and Knowledge Management in Global Economy.
