Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). This collection comprises state-of-the-art papers written by scientists and research groups working in fields encompassing metals and alloys, silicates, polymers and composites.

Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 9th Hungarian Conference on Materials Science, October 13-15, 2013, Balatonkenese, Hungary. The 75 papers are grouped as follows: Session I. - Materials and Technologies; Session II. - Materials Testing; Session III. - Modelling

This 3rd Conference on Materials Science, Testing and Informatics provided an invaluable forum for discussions on Functional Materials and Technologies for the New Millennium. The book covers many essential topics including: Mechanical Engineering, Electrotechnics, Energetics, Ceramics, Polymers, Biotechnology, Nanostructures, Smart Materials, Gradient Materials, Modern Research and Characterization Methods, Modeling, Simulation and Materials Informatics. This volume thus constitutes a handy guide to future research trends.

Materials informatics: a hot topic area in materials science, aims to combine traditionally bio-led informatics with computational methodologies, supporting more efficient research by identifying strategies for time- and cost-effective analysis. The discovery and maturation of new materials has been outpaced by the thicket of data created by new combinatorial and high throughput analytical techniques. The elaboration of this "quantitative avalanche" and the resulting complex, multi-factor analyses required to understand it means that interest, investment, and research are revisiting informatics approaches as a solution. This work, from Krishna Rajan, the leading expert of the informatics approach to materials, seeks to break down the barriers between data management, quality standards, data mining, exchange, and storage and analysis, as a means of accelerating scientific research in materials science. This solutions-based reference synthesizes foundational physical, statistical, and mathematical content with emerging experimental and real-world applications, for interdisciplinary researchers and those new to the field. Identifies and analyzes interdisciplinary strategies (including combinatorial and high throughput approaches) that accelerate materials development cycle times and reduces associated costs Mathematical and computational analysis aids formulation of new structure-property correlations among large, heterogeneous, and distributed data sets Practical examples, computational tools, and software analysis benefits rapid identification of critical data and analysis of theoretical needs for future problems "
