Advanced materials-2007

The 10th International Symposium on Advanced Materials (ISAM) was held from 3-7 September, 2007. From this symposium, material scientists and engineers can keep abreast with recent technologies involving advanced structural and functional materials. The proceeding of ISAM includes 94 papers which have been divided into six different sections: i) Development in material processing ii) Surface Engineering iii) phase transformation iv) advances in magnetic materials v) Nanotechnology and vi) reliability and life assessment. ISAM provides the opportunity to exchange technical know-how amongst Scientists, Engineers and researchers. (A.B.)
