Composite materials are composed with two different materials, which combine to give properties superior to those of the individual constituents. The many component materials and different processes that can be used make composites extremely versatile and efficient. They typically result in lighter, stronger, more durable solutions compared to traditional materials. The main properties of the materials are Weight reduction, Durability and maintenance, Added functionality, Design freedom.

 Glass is a non-crystalline amorphous solid. It is mainly made of silica; glass is made of silica only is called silica glass. According to the definition of ASTM standards for Glass, "glass is an inorganic product of fusion which has been cooled to a rigid condition without crystallization".

Nanotechnology is manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. Nanotechnology as defined by size is naturally very broad, including fields of science as diverse as surface science, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, energy storage microfabrication, molecular engineering,

Polymer science or macromolecular science is a subfield of materials science concerned with polymers, primarily synthetic polymers such as plastics and elastomers. The field of polymer science includes researchers in multiple disciplines including chemistry, physics, and engineering.

Materials science is a syncretic discipline hybridizing metallurgy, ceramics, solid-state physics, and chemistry. The interdisciplinary field of materials science, also commonly termed materials science and engineering is the design and discovery of new materials, particularly solids.It includes chemistry, physics, and engineering to understand ancient, phenomenological observations in metallurgy and mineralogy.

              Surface Engineering    is the sub-discipline of materials science which deals with the surface of solid matter. It has applications to chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering (particularly in relation to semiconductor manufacturing).

Electro-magnetic and optical ceramics and devices - It Includes sub sessions such as Multiferroic materials, Microwave dielectrics, metamaterials and frequency tunable devices, Electrically conducting ceramics and Transparent polycrystalline materials as optical ceramics.

Metal oxides contain an anion of oxygen in the oxidation state of −2.  Non-metals react with oxygen in the air to produce non-metal oxides.

Ceramography is the art and science of preparation, examination and evaluation of ceramic microstructures. Ceramography can be thought of as the metallography of ceramics. The microstructure includes most grains, secondary phases, grain boundaries, pores, micro-cracks and hardness microindentions.

Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells, engineering and materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to improve or replace biological tissues. Tissue engineering involves the use of a tissue scaffold for the formation of new viable tissue for a medical purpose. While it was once categorized as a sub-field of biomaterials.

Crystallography, branch of science that deals with discerning the arrangement and bonding of atoms in crystalline solids and with the geometric structure of crystal lattices. Modern crystallography is largely based on the analysis of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals acting as optical gratings. Using X-ray crystallography, chemists are able to determine the internal structures and bonding arrangements of minerals and molecules, including the structures of large complex molecules, such as proteins and DNA.

The influence of electrical fields on various phenomena in ceramic science is an emerging area which deals with the ceramic materials at higher temperatures and also the sintering characteristics shown by materials. This track covers Flash Sintering Phenomena and Mechanisms, Field Assisted Sintering Phenomena.

An alloy may be a solid solution of metal elements (a single phase) or a mixture of metallic phases (two or more solutions). Alloys are used in a wide variety of applications.

 A biosensor is an analytical device, used for the detection of an analyte, that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector. The sensitive biological element, e.g. tissue, microorganisms, organelles, cell receptors, enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, etc., is a biologically derived material or biomimetic component that interacts, binds, or recognizes with the analyte under study. The biologically sensitive elements can also be created by biological engineering. 

Range in biocompatibility from the ceramic oxides, which are inert in the body, to the other extreme of resorbable materials, which are eventually replaced by the materials which they were used to repairing, used in many types of medical procedures. This track covers Biological Evaluation of Bioceramic Materials, Applications, Case Studies, and Bioceramics for Cancer Therapy, Bioceramics for Dental Application, and Bioceramics in Tissue Engineering.

Superconductivity is a phenomenon occurring in certain materials at low temperatures, characterised by the complete absence of electrical resistance and the expulsion of the interior magnetic field (the Meissner effect).

Advanced Materials includes Communications, Reviews, and Feature Articles on topics in chemistry, physics, nanotechnology, ceramics, metallurgy, and biomaterials.

A biomaterial is any substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose - either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic one. The study of biomaterials is called biomaterials science or biomaterials engineering.
