Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This special collection of 44 peer-reviewed papers has, as its main focus, advanced materials science and technology, with the emphasis on nanostructured materials and nanostructures. The papers cover topics such as aerospace materials, biomaterials, magnetic materials, materials evaluation technology, materials processing, mechanical behaviour of materials, nanomaterials, polymer/composite materials and construction materials.The book will certainly interest anyone working with advanced materials. Lu (Hong Kong Polytechnic U.) introduces this collection of 44 peer-reviewed papers, including six invited papers, from the 6th International Forum on Advances Material Science and Technology (FAMST) held during June 12-14, 2008 at his campus. With the primary focus on nanostructures and nanostructured materials, papers cover topics including biomaterials; aerospace, magnetic, polymer/composite materials, and construction materials; materials evaluation technology; materials processing; and the mechanical behavior of materials. Papers provide historical background on carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials whose mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal properties are being used in ever-increasing applications. FAMST advisory committee members are listed.
