Preface

In this volume of IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering contains papers contributed to the conference of "Modern Materials and Manufacturing" – MMM 2021 held on April 27 – 29, 2021 in Tallinn, Estonia. The conference was organized by Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech). Selected papers of conference are published in special issue of Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences and journal Mechanics of Composite Materials, prepared with participation of PhD students.

The conference on Modern Materials and Manufacturing is an international forum focused on Industry 4.0 and Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering and Tribology, and brings together materials and manufacturing experts from the universities and industry. It encourages new collaborations between different partners not only from academia, but also from national competence centers, industry and funding bodies.

Due to the high quality of presentations and subsequent networking opportunities, this event, hosting combined 13th International DAAAM Baltic Conference and 29th International Baltic Conference BALTMATTRIB 2021, has achieved worldwide interest and active participation from researchers from national and global technical communities.

The technical program contained presentations results of the scientific and engineering researches in important areas of materials engineering as well as materials processing technologies with particular emphasis on the current trends in the development and application of advanced materials.

The organizing committee believe this issue will be a valuable resource, not only for the participants of MMM 2021 Conference, but also for the whole research community in the field of materials and manufacturing engineering.
