Materials are not only the basic elements of people’s daily life, but also indispensable components in high-tech fields such as energy, information, and advanced manufacturing. The unique and versatile characteristics of advanced materials make them a highly desirable group of candidate materials for various engineering applications. A thorough and comprehensive analysis of the challenges associated with advanced materials can pave the way for their cost-effective applications. In this context, the 2024 International Conference on Materials Physics and Composites (ICMPC 2024) undoubtedly provides a valuable communication platform for experts, scholars, researchers and practitioners in the field of materials science around the world. The conference was successfully held in Chengdu, China from May 24th to 26th, 2024 via virtual form, establishing a forum to gather the world’s top wisdom and strength to discuss the latest research results, technological advances and future development trends in materials physics and composites. A number of well-known scholars and experts were invited to deliver keynote speeches, and oral presentations and poster sessions were set up to provide more opportunities for the participants to communicate and demonstrate. These activities not only promoted the collision and integration of academic ideas, but also deepened the friendship and cooperation among the participants. This Proceedings, as one of the important outcomes of ICMPC 2024, contains many excellent papers submitted during the conference. These papers cover a wide range of research directions in materials physics and composites, including but not limited to the Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Materials, Physical Properties and Structural Characterization of Materials, Preparation and Application of Composites, and Mechanical Properties of Materials, etc. Each paper is the result of the authors’ hard work and wisdom, and shows the latest progress and research results in the field of materials science. In the process of reviewing the papers, we strictly followed the academic standards and criteria, and invited well-known scholars and experts in related fields to be the reviewers. After several rounds of meticulous evaluation and screening, we have finally selected the papers with innovative, prospective and practical value for this Proceedings published in IOP Press-Journal of Physics: Conference Series. We believe that the publication of these papers will not only provide useful reference for researchers in the field of materials science, but also further promote the development and progress of materials science Looking ahead, materials science will continue to play an important role in scientific and technological progress and social development. We look forward to further strengthening the communication and cooperation in the field of materials science worldwide through international academic conferences such as ICMPC 2024, and jointly promoting the prosperity of materials science. Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the experts, scholars, researchers, committee members and staff who have participated in ICMPC 2024. It is thanks to your hard work and selfless dedication that this conference has been a great success. We look forward to continuing to work together with you in the future to create a better future for materials science. The Committee of ICMPC 2024 List of Committee Member is available in this pdf.
