Abstract

The 2022 8th International Forum on Manufacturing Technology and Engineering Materials (IFEMMT 2022) was successfully held on October 14th-16th, 2022 in Chongqing, China (virtual conference). IFEMMT 2022 brought together academics and experts in the field of Manufacturing Technology and Engineering Materials to a common forum, making it a great platform for people to share views and experiences in related areas.We were honored to have Prof. Xiansheng Ning from Shenyang Ligong University, China to serve as our General Conference Chair. The conference covered keynote speeches, oral presentations, and online Q&A discussion, attracting 150 individuals. Firstly, keynote speakers were each allocated 30-45 minutes to hold their speeches. Then in the oral presentations, the excellent papers selected were presented by their authors in sequence.During the conference, five sophisticated professors were invited to make keynote speeches. Among them, Prof. Vijay Kumar Thakur from Scotland’s Rural College delivered a keynote speech on Polymer Nanocomposites as Promising Materials for the Future. Polymer nanocomposites are rapidly emerging as novel materials for a number of advanced engineering applications. The combination of both the polymers and fillers provides enhanced properties depending on the type and nature of polymer matrices as well as fillers. Therefore, this presentation mainly discussed about the work on the synthesis and processing of polymer-based materials for advanced application. Additionally, Assoc. Prof. Xiao Lu from Shenyang Ligong University made a report on Structure Design of Defective Electrocatalysts and Effect of High Magnetic Field on Electrocatalysis Process. The report proposed a method to achieve high efficiency oxygen reduction reaction by regulating the defect structure of carbon materials and metal catalyst materials and put forward the preparation of catalyst materials under strong magnetic field and the influence of strong magnetic field on oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction process. Their excellent presentations had sparked heated discussion in the conference. Moreover, every participant praised this conference for disseminating insightful knowledge.After months of well preparation and hard work, the proceedings of IFEMMT 2022 covering a bunch of papers are smoothly published. These papers feature but are not limited to the following topics: Advanced Design Technology, Manufacturing Systems and Automation, New Materials and Advanced Materials, etc. All the papers have been checked through rigorous review and processes to meet the requirements of publication.We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all the keynote speakers, peer reviewers, and all the participants. Particularly, we would like to acknowledge the Journal of Physics: Conference Series, for the endeavor of all its colleagues in publishing this paper volume. We are sure that IFEMMT 2022 will contribute to not only scientific and engineering progress but also other new products and processes.The Committee of IFEMMT 2022List of Committee member is available in this Pdf.
