Introduction

Since the 1st International Conference on Advanced Materials Development & Performance (AMDP) was held in Auckland, 1997, the conference has 27 years of history and has been organized by seven universities located in Asia and Australasia. The key aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity for the delegates to meet, interact and exchange new ideas on advanced materials development, performance and their applications. This conference covers a wide range of topics related to materials science and engineering in five sessions. We would like to carry on the good work by hosting the 10th International Conference on Advanced Materials Development & Performance (AMDP 2024) at Tokushima University, Tokushima, Japan on September 23-25, 2024.

Session A: Advanced Composites and Materials for Civil, Eco-Friendly and Mechanical Engineering
Session B: Advanced Nanomaterials, Nanotechnology and Applications
Session C: Advanced Energy Materials and Technology
Session D: Functional Materials and Technology
Session E: Biomaterials and Biosensors
