Science for Materials in the Frontier of Centuries: Advantages and Challenges. Volume I

Abstract : The Final Proceedings for Science for Materials in the Frontier of Centuries: Advantages and Challenges, 4 Nov O2-8 Nov O2 I. Fundamental problems of materials science including phase transformations, reaction kinetics, deformation of materials, materials modeling, and surface phenomena. II. Prospective materials for functional and structural purposes as composites, ceramics, amorphous and nano- crystalline materials, quasi-crystals, fullerenes, nano-tubes, intermetallics, eutectic materials, hard alloys and cermets. III. Materials processing routes including materials synthesis in the bulk and dispersed states, self-propagating high- temperature synthesis, powder formation, sintering, joining, and coating. IV. Characterization of materials properties using non-destructive methods, microscopy, spectroscopy, acoustics, and X-ray.
