Multi-Functional Materials and Structures IV

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The main focuses collection of 184 peer reviewed papers was to cover all aspects of materials, including advanced and functional materials, composites and applications, green and biomaterials, smart and intelligent materials and structures, processing and engineering of materials, natural and synthetic fiber composites and materials for specific applications.

The papers are grouped as follows: I. Advanced Composites and their Applications;II. Bio-materials and Biomimetic Materials; III. Intelligent Processing of Materials and Structures; IV.

Nano-Materials, -Sensors and -Actuators; V. Engineering and Structural Materials; VI. Smart Materials and Structures; VII. Tribology (Surface Engineering); VIII. Materials for Fuel Cells and Solar Cells; IX. Natural Fiber Composites; X. Synthetic Fiber Composites; XI. Construction and Building Materials; XII. Soft Materials; XIII. Functional Materials; XIV. Materials Processing, Modeling and Technology; XV. Green Materials; XVI. Others.The 191 papers are fewer than half of those submitted for presentation at this year's MFMS and publication in the proceedings.

They cover advanced composites and their applications; bio-materials and biomimetic materials; the intelligent processing of materials and structures; nanometer-scale materials, sensors, and actuators; engineering and structural materials; smart materials and structures; tribology and surface engineering; materials for fuel cells and solar cells; natural and synthetic fiber composites; construction and building materials; soft materials; functional materials; materials processing, modeling, and technology; green materials; and other topics.

The invited papers discuss the coexistence and competition of natural fibers with artificial fibers and future prospects, and multi-functional properties of wool fiber composites.
