This book is a platform to publish new progress in the field of materials and technologies that can offer significant developments with the possibility of changing the future. These emerging developments will change the way we live now at an unprecedented pace across our society. It is important to note that such modern developments are no longer restricted to a single discipline, but are the outcome of a multidisciplinary approach, which combines many different engineering disciplines. This book explores the new technology landscape that will have the direct impact on production-related sectors, individually and in combination with different disciplines. A major driver for this actual research is the efficiency, many times connected with a focus on environmental sustainability.
