PREFACE
2018 International Conference on Smart Engineering Materials (ICSEM 2018) was held in Bucharest, Romania during March 07-09, 2018. ICSEM 2018 was a great success, and academic atmosphere helped participants to exchange scientific and technological ideas and enjoy the material development in the field of smart engineering materials.
ICSEM 2018 provided a real platform for researchers, engineers and academicians to further develop Smart Engineering Materials. Distinguished professors were also invited to deliver keynote speeches relating to the latest developments and trends in their respective fields. The keynote speakers included Prof. Pankaj Vadgama from Queen Mary University of London, UK; Prof. Maria Tomoaia-Cotisel from Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania; Prof. Jordi Arbiol from ICREA & Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), CSIC and BIST.
This set of conference proceedings presents a selection of papers submitted to the conference from various universities, research institutes and industries. All papers were subjected to peer-review by conference committee members and a panel of international reviewers. The papers were selected based on the quality and relevance to the conference. This volume presents recent advances in the field of Carbonaceus Materials, Nanomaterials and their Arrangements, Two Dimensional Materials, Non Ferrous Metal Material, Smart and Intelligent Materials, Intelligent Materials Systems, Processing Technology for Functional Materials and etc.
We would like to thank all the authors who have contributed to this volume and also to the organizing committee, reviewers, speakers, co-chairpersons, sponsors and all the conference participants for their strong support to ICSEM 2018 to make this a successful event. We look forward to meeting you in ICSEM 2019!
