Author Description

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The 235 peer-reviewed papers, making up the proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Chemical Engineering and Material Properties (ISCEMP 2012) held on the 22nd to 24th June in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, are grouped into five chapters: Chemical Engineering; Materials Science and Engineering; Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics; Industrial Safety and Environment; Other Related Topics. This volume collects 235 papers by scientists and engineers mostly from China who attended the 2012 Second International Symposium on Chemical Engineering and Material Properties (ISCEMP 2012), held in June 2012, in Taiyuan, China. In the first part, papers cover topics in chemical engineering, including the synthesis and properties, performance, preparation and characterization, modification, kinetics, refining process, polymorphic changes, thermal decomposition, effects, determination, activation, structure and stability, refining, fabrication, growth and measurement, adsorption behavior, crystallization properties, electrochemical behavior, extraction, gasification, and other aspects of various materials. The second part covers materials science and engineering topics, such as the printing performance of different pigment coated paper, applications of phase change materials for energy saving, preparation methods of nanofibers, the properties of physical and chemical foaming concrete, and the influences of hydrogenation on tensile properties of Ti40 alloy. Other sections address mechanics engineering and applied mechanics; industrial safety and environment; and other topics, such as the study and application of cutting technology of underground drifting blasting, the development mode of a mechanical and electrical products 3D part library, and the application analysis of crude ricin in terrorism.
