Engineering Materials”

This book provides an invaluable reference of materials engineering written for a broad audience in an engaging, effective way. Several stories explain how perseverance and organized research helps to discover new processes for making important materials and how new materials with unmatched properties are theoretically conceived, tested in the laboratory, mass produced and deployed for the benefit of all.

The 6th KKU International Engineering Conference 2016 (KKU-IENC 2016) was held 3-5th August , 2016 in Khon Kean, Thailand and was focused on the applied materials and related technologies for different areas of human activity. All presented papers were rigorously peer-reviewed. We hope this collection will be useful for wide range of scientists and engineers.
