This collection of the scientific articles is based on the results of the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Functional Materials (ICAFM, August 4-6, 2017, Los Angeles, United States) and сovers a wide range of last research results in area of functional materials - their properties and their possible practical application in the various branches of the modern production. We hope that presented collection will be useful and interesting for many engineers and researchers whose activity are related to materials science, processing and application of materials.
