Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2014 China Functional Material Technology and Industry Forum (CFMTIF 2014), August 26-28, 2014, Xi'an, China. The 149 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Nanoscale Materials and Nanocomposites; Chapter 2: Microscale Materials and Thick Films;Chapter 3: Polymer Materials; Chapter 4: Metallic Materials and Alloys; Chapter 5: Composites; Chapter 6: Biomaterials; Chapter 7: Thin Film and Coating Materials;Chapter 8: Optical, Electrical and Sensing Material Properties; Chapter 9: Energy Materials; Chapter 10: Natural and Environmental MaterialsKeyword: Functional materials. Metallic Materials and Alloys. Nanoscale Materials and Composite Materials. Ceramic and Inorganic Functional Materials. Mechanical, Thermal, Optical, Electric Functional Materials. Environmengt Functional Materials and Energy Materials. Biological, Macromolecule and Organic Functional Materials. Film Materials, Coating and Surface TechnologyThe focus of this year's forum was accelerating functional materials, independent innovation, and promoting the development of strategic emerging industry in the west. About 140 papers cover metallic materials and alloys; nanoscale materials and composite materials; ceramic and inorganic functional materials; mechanical, thermal, optical, and electric functional materials; environmental functional materials and energy materials; biological, macromolecular, and organic functional materials; and film materials, coatings, and surface technology. The topics include preparing and characterizing different syntactic foams filled with hollow microspheres, side-chain liquid-crystalline polysiloxanes containing cholesteric cyclohexane, a easy method for improving the process of preparing porous anodic aluminum oxide film, and the influence of particle size on the rheology of magneto-rheological elastomers.- Composite materials- Materials science- Nanomaterials
