Science and Technology of Advanced Materials Applied to Society: Including Collections from the Latest Papers of KRIS 2023

Dear Colleagues,

Humanity faces numerous challenges that have never been faced before. There are fears that if we continue on our current path, humanity will not be able to continue living on this planet. People from all fields around the world have discussed and established specific goals to be achieved by 2030: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Materials scientists around the world are researching and developing the advanced materials needed to achieve the SDGs. The developed materials are implemented in society and contribute greatly to its sustainable development. In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of papers on the science and technology of advanced materials that contribute to achieving the SDGs.

National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Japan’s largest higher education institution for science and technology, will host KRIS 2023: KOSEN Research International Symposium 2023 in March 2023. One of the major themes of this international conference is the SDGs. The advanced materials science papers to be discussed at this international conference will be published in this Special Issue. The Guest Editors of this Special Issue are looking forward to receiving submissions from colleagues around the world.

Prof. Dr. Sheikh A. Akbar
