THE RITZ CARLTON HOTEL Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) hosted the Advanced Course in:
NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS MANUFACTURING: CHARACTERISATION AND APPLICATIONS

Beyond the lectures and group discussions, there was the  opportunity for participants to  discuss extra views / questions with the lecturers in a free and relaxed atmosphere.

During lunch times (each day in a different Restaurant – at Ritz Carlton ‘Feast Village’) the lecturers sat at tables with the participants, who were seated in group, and engaged in congenial conversations with them. Coffee breaks were also used by the  participants to question the lecturers.

We thanks Professor S. Veprek and Professor S. Zhang for these three successful learning days!

About this series

Common engineering materials reach in many applications their limits and new developments are required to fulfil increasing demands on engineering materials. The performance of materials can be increased by combining different materials to achieve better properties than a single constituent or by shaping the material or constituents in a specific structure. The interaction between material and structure may arise on different length scales, such as micro‐, meso‐ or macroscale, and offers possible applications in quite diverse fields.

This book series addresses the fundamental relationship between materials and their structure on the overall properties (e.g. mechanical, thermal, chemical or magnetic etc.) and applications.

The topics of Advanced Structured Materials include but are not limited to:

• classical fibre-reinforced composites (e.g. class, carbon or Aramid reinforced plastics)
• metal matrix composites (MMCs)
• micro porous composites
• micro channel materials
• multilayered materials
• cellular materials (e.g. metallic or polymer foams, sponges, hollow sphere structures)
• porous materials

• truss structures
• nanocomposite materials
• Biomaterials
• nano porous metals
• Concrete
• coated materials
• smart materials
