Conference Committee

Abstract This volume of proceedings is a compilation of thirty-four accepted papers submitted to the 10th Global Conference on Materials Science and Engineering (CMSE 2021). This conference was held in the online mode on August 1-4, 2021, and attended by over a hundred researchers, scholars, academic and industry experts in materials science and engineering from 35 countries. During the four-day online conference, three keynote speeches with topics on biomaterials, semiconductor materials, and powder metallurgy were delivered by Prof. Seeram Ramakrishna (National University of Singapore, Singapore), Prof. Qixin Guo (Saga University, Japan), and Prof. José M. Torralba (The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain). Sixty-four oral and invited presentations were presented and discussed in-depth in six technical sessions, followed by a poster session on the conference website, with interactive communication among the attendees. Despite the inhibiting factor of Covid19, the conference successfully promoted exchanging new ideas and perspective discourse among the participants in their respective fields. The conference was brilliantly chaired by the Conference Chairman, Prof. Sigitas Tamulevičius from the Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, and a team of Session Chairs: Dr. Yanli Lu (Northwestern Polytechnical University, China), Prof. Yaovi Gagou (Université de Picardie Jules Verne, France), Dr. Stefan Siebert (Brockhaus Measurements, Germany), Dr. Marianna Marciszko-Wiąckowska (AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland), Dr. Hasan Koten (Istanbul Medeniyet University, Turkey), Dr. P.E. Markovsky (Kurdyumov Institute for Metal Physics NASU, Ukraine), and Assoc. Prof. Jun Yan (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA). All participants highly appreciated the online support and facilitation of Conference Secretaries: Ms. Ling Li and Ms. Kelly Feng (Bosen, China). List of Conference Committee Members are available in this pdf.

ABSTRACTA review of the educational literature on naive concepts about principles of chemistry and physics and surveys of science museum visitors reveal that people of all ages have robust alternative notions about the nature of atoms, matter, and bonding that persist despite formal science education experiences. Some confusion arises from the profound differences in the way that scientists and the lay public use terms such as materials, metals, liquids, models, function, matter, and bonding. Many models that eloquently articulate arrangements of atoms and molecules to informed scientists are not widely understood by lay people and may promote naive notions among the public. Shifts from one type of atomic model to another and changes in size scales are particularly confusing to learners. People's abilities to describe and understand the properties of materials are largely based on tangible experiences, and much of what students learn in school does not help them interpret their encounters with materials and phenomena in everyday life. Identification of these challenges will help educators better convey the principles of materials science and engineering to students, and will be particularly beneficial in the design of the Materials MicroWorld traveling museum exhibit.

Do So

Materials science and engineering (MSE), as a field as well as a discipline, has expanded greatly in recent years and will continue to do so, most likely at an even faster pace. It is now well-accepted that materials are crucial to the national defense, to the quality of life, and to the economic security and competitiveness of the nation. Mankind has recognized the importance of manmade materials to the quality of life for many centuries. In many cases, the security and defense of tribes and nations have substantially depended on the availability of materials. It is not surprising that historical periods have been named after materials—the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, etc. The major requirements from materials in those days were their properties and performance. Today, in this age of advanced materials, the importance of materials to defense and quality of life has not changed. However, the critical role of materials has taken an additional dimension: it has become essential to enhancing industrial competitiveness.The knowledge base within MSE has also expanded vastly throughout these years and continues to do so at an increasing rate. We are constantly gaining a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of materials, developing new ways to produce and shape them for applications extending from automobiles to supersonic airplanes, optoelectronic devices to supercomputers, hip implants to intraocular lenses, or from household appliances to gigantic structures. We are also learning that, in many of these applications, we need to depend on the combinations or composites of different classes of materials (metals, ceramic, polymers, and electronic materials) to enhance their properties.
