Increased funding for ground-based research by national space agencies coupled with the development of unique hardware for experimentation in space has led to a tremendous increase in research into the behaviour of materials under microgravity conditions. The thirty-three papers in this volume highlight research areas of particular scientific and industrial interest and discuss specific ground-based projects where the results of laboratory research are applied by industry to the development of flight hardware.
