Next Generation Materials: Recent Advances in Engineering Sciences

The Fifth International Conference on Recent Advances in Engineering Sciences (ICRAES-2024) is part of the ICRAES conference series, a biannual event organised by M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, India. ICRAES-2024, with a theme "Next Generation Materials for Sustainable Technologies", brought together leading academic scientists, industrialists, research scholars, students, delegates, and exhibitors, promoting the exchange of experiences and research findings on advanced materials for sustainable technologies. ICRAES-2024 aligned its objectives with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Key areas of focus included polymer composite materials, nanocomposite materials & applications, materials for renewable energy sources & sensors, smart materials, optimisation techniques in materials processing, next generation building materials, biomaterials, advanced materials in healthcare, etc. This volume contains the selected papers resulting from the conference with key focus on latest advancements in application of nanomaterials, composite materials, biomaterials for sustainable solutions.
