Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The First Workshop on Metastable and Nanostructured Materials was held in the city of São Pedro (Brazil) in August 2001. These proceedings contain 22 revised papers which concentrate mainly on the topics of bulk metallic glasses and nanocrystalline materials prepared via the chemical synthesis, devitrification of mechanical alloying and compaction routes. However, other important contributions here deal with the spray deposition process and polymeric materials, as well as with the resultant magnetic, mechanical, electromagnetic, electrochemical, catalytic and optical properties of the product materials.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 4th Workshop on Metastable and Nanostructured Materials (NANOMAT 2009), ESIQIE-IPN, Mexico City, August 23- 26, 2009

The Second Workshop on Metastable and Nanostructured Materials was held in Iguaçu Falls, Paraná State, Brazil, from August 28th to 29th, 2003. Following the successful First Workshop organized in 2001, II NANOMAT was organized in order to provide another Forum for discussions on Metastable and Nanostructured Materials. This main purpose of the Workshop was fully achieved, with the participation of researchers from countries both near and far: Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Turkey and the USA

This special volume is collected from some papers presented at the 24th International Symposium on Metastable, Amorphous and Nanostructured Materials (ISMANAM 2017, June 18-23, 2017, San Sebastian, Spain) and reflects recent results of research and developments in the field of metastable, amorphous and nanostructured materials and intermetallic compounds. We hope this collection will be interesting and useful for many specialists on modern materials science.
