This book presents the peer-reviewed conference proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Advanced Materials and Engineering Materials (ICAMEM 2025), held in Hong Kong, China, from December 17–19, 2025. For more than thirteen years, ICAMEM has provided a global forum for sharing research and fostering collaboration in materials science and engineering. The 2025 edition features plenary sessions, keynote speeches, and technical presentations on topics such as new materials design, advanced characterization techniques, and practical applications across industries. The program highlights recent scientific progress and encourages interdisciplinary dialogue to shape future developments.

This volume includes rigorously peer-reviewed articles covering areas such as novel materials synthesis, nanotechnology, sustainable energy materials, biomedical applications, and advanced manufacturing. These articles offer insights into current challenges and propose innovative solutions for next-generation materials and engineering technologies. Serving as both a record of ICAMEM 2025 and a resource for future research, this book is intended for academics, engineers, industry professionals, and students seeking to stay informed in the rapidly evolving field of materials technology.
