Overview
Heterogeneous materials are materials with domains that have dramatically different mechanical and physical properties. There are a large number of natural and synthetic heterogeneous materials such as bones, woods, animal tissues, plant cells, sands, soils, multiphase composites, concretes, sandwich structures, foams, and multi-layered structures, etc. They are widely utilized in both structural and functional components in different devices. The research field on heterogeneous materials is exciting and growing rapidly into multidisciplinary areas. It is also important to disseminate these research results to the academic community, which will benefit diverse researchers and scientists in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Biology. Some potential conference subject areas will include, but not limited to the following:
|
