The book presents the scientific history of the early days of fuel cells (1838 to 1845). The fuel cell effect was discovered by the Swiss scientist Christian Friedrich Schoenbein. while the English lawyer and scientist William Robert Grove perfected the idea into a working power source. But around 1870 Siemens invented the power generator and electricity was produced by rotating shafts of water wheels, engines and turbines. The book presents for the first time the complete communication between C. F. Schoenbein and R. W. Grove (1838 to 1868). Also, the original analysis based on the physical understanding of 1850 has also been revised and corrected. The updated fuel cell analysis leads to full agreement between theory and experiment.Updated and corrected fuel cell theoryHistoric review of discovery of fuel cell effect and early development of fuel cell generatorsComplete correspondence between Schoenbein and Grove from 1838 to 1868 (first publication)

It addresses the gap and mystery that often exists between these two fields and provides a common ground for understanding. The book covers various aspects of orthopedic design, including the anatomy and biomechanics of bones and joints, the materials used in orthopedic devices, and the testing and evaluation of orthopedic devices. It also introduces computer-aided design with additive manufacturing in a practical sense, including the principles of non-parametric optimization (topology and shape optimization) in a scientific and practical way. The author provides dedicated examples and research studies to further clarify the concepts presented in the book and includes some of their own peer-reviewed papers to support the material. Additionally, it covers the practical applications of computer-aided design and additivemanufacturing in orthopedic design, including the use of virtual prototyping, computer simulation, and 3D printing techniques. The book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to orthopedic design and the latest advancements in the field.

Sustainable materials science and engineering is one of the important characteristics of the existing high-tech revolution. The advances of materials science pave way for technical advancements in materials science and industrial technologies throughout the world. Materials are regarded as critical component in all emerging industries. Exquisite preparation and manufacturing must be carried out before a new material may be used. Nevertheless, electronic materials are undeniably important in many aspects of life. Smart materials and structures is a multi-disciplinary platform dedicated to technical advances in smart materials, systems and structures, including intelligent materials, sensing and actuation, adaptive structures, and active control. Recently, sustainable materials and technologies reshape the electronics industry to build realistic applications. At present, without the impact of sustainability, the electronics industry faces challenges. Researchers are now more focused on understanding the fundamental science of nano, micro, and macro-scale aspects of materials and technologies for sustainable development with a special attention toward reducing the knowledge gap between materials and system designs. The main aim of this international conference is to address the new trends on smart sustainable materials field for industrial and electronics applications. The main purpose of this conference is to assess the recent development in the applied science involving research activity from micro- to macro-scale aspects of materials and technologies for sustainable applications. In such a context, particular emphasis is given to research papers tailored in order to improve electronic and industrial applications and market extension of sustainable materials.
