DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6b15c3/multiscale_multif) has
announced the addition of the "Multiscale, Multifunctional and Functionally
Graded Materials" report to their offering.

Series: Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 10th International Symposium on
MM & FGMs, 22nd - 25th, September 2008, Sendai, JAPAN

Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) are multifunctional materials which exhibit
spatial variations in composition and microstructure; created for the specific
purpose of achieving variations in thermal, structural or functional properties.
They are presently at the forefront of materials research and are receiving
worldwide attention. They enjoy a broad range of application; including, for
example, biomechanical, automotive, aerospace, mechanical, civil, nuclear and
naval engineering. New applications are continually being discovered and
developed.

This collection of peer-reviewed papers is intended to impart new ideas,
state-of-the-art techniques and recent developments in the field of FGMs. The
topics covered include: Processing, Manufacturing, Design and Characterization,
Modeling and Simulations, Multiscale Multiphysics Modeling, Nano-FGMs,
Biomedical and Eco-materials, Biomimetic Materials, Multifunctional Materials,
Energy Conversion Materials and Devices, Topology Optimization and
Homogenization, Thin Films and Coatings, Surfaces and Interfaces, Computational
Techniques, Testing and Characterization, Industrial Applications and
Commercialization.

It would be difficult to find a more timely and up-to-date coverage of the
subject.
