MATEC Special Issue “3rd International Conference on Building Materials and Materials Engineering (ICBMM2019)”

Abstract

Rapid development of modern technology needs the support of new material. New material together with information and energy are known as the three pillars of modern science and technology. The birth of new materials will lead rapid development of related industries and technologies. Architecture is one of the examples. The appearance of new building materials not only enhanced the original performance of the materials, such as durability, mechanical properties but also the performance of strength, energy conservation, insulation, waterproof, and appearance. Construction materials is developing towards the pursuit of functional diversity, life-cycle economy and recycling. With the change of living concepts and the demand of the multifarious building function, as the very basic elements of construction, building materials will face plenty of challenges. 2019 The 3rd International Conference on Building Materials and Materials Engineering (ICBMM 2019) was held successfully in NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal during September 25-27, 2019 with positive feedback from participants. ICBMM 2019 focus on research hotspot like building materials, semiconducting materials, organic/polymer materials, nano-materials, composite materials, bio-materials and etc. The conference aims to provide opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.
