In order to respond to these changing times, the
theme for the tenth exhibition of Materials Engi-
neering on May 25 and 26, 2011 will be “Functional
& Smart Materials.”
What do these developments mean for the
biennial “Materials Engineering” exhibition?
• A further shift in focus from “structural”
material applications to “functional”
application of materials
• A shift from “material selection” to “ma

The Materials Engineering knowledge index is a spe-
cialized index of applicable scientific information
(white-papers and articles) for product technology,
material technology, and design technology. Busi-
nesses publish high-quality white-papers and infor-
mative articles. These extensively explain the ap-
