The book provides new results of internationally recognized scientific teams in the fields of Materials Science, Physics, Mechanics, Fabrication Techniques and Technologies of Advanced Materials, operating in wide scaling from nanometer to macroscopic range. The developed theoretical and experiment approaches cover prospective manufacture methods of nanomaterials, ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics (environmentally friendly) and other advanced materials and composites. The book discusses fabrication techniques, physics, mechanics, and applications of promising materials and composites. It presents numerous results of theoretical and experimental studies of novel materials and devices with beforehand given and improved structure-sensitive properties, based on the methods of biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, magnetoelectric elasticity, physics of condensed matter and material science. Thus, the book allows one to better understand the modern requirements for advanced materials and composites. The results obtained also include computational algorithms and original hard- and software, used in realization of numerical methods (in particular, finite-element modeling), demonstrating fascinating new advancements for wide spectrum of novel materials (which could be obtained due to reprocessing or using natural materials, wastes, fruits and plants) and devices. The advanced materials with specific properties and novel devices, based on them, show higher and improved properties in comparison with the properties of the competitive publications. In the result, it gives a new knowledge, which is necessary for numerous applications and subsequent development of industry and the methods of management and marketing. The original theoretical, numerical and experiment methods, manufactured devices and set-ups demonstrate significant possibilities in expanding the research of various physical processes and phenomena. They provide different improvements in the study of numerous structure-sensitive characteristics of solids and structures. 

The book will be useful for students, post-graduate students, scientists and engineers, which research and develop a new generation of nanomaterials and nanocomposites, ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials, other promising structures and compositions with structure-sensitive properties, and various devices, designed on their base and used in different applications of science, technique and technology. Moreover, it will be very interesting for specialists, working in industry, management and marketing. The book is important for unification and development of various expertise, designs and studies. It presents new research methods and scientific results in the Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Science, Physical and Mechanical Experiment, Processing Techniques and Engineering of Nanomaterials, Piezoelectrics and other Advanced Materials and Composites, Computational Methods, numerous applications and developed devices.
