Advancements in nano-reinforcements, additive manufacturing, sol-gel synthesis, severe plastic deformation (SPD), and AI-driven design are enabling composites to achieve tailored properties for use in structural, biomedical, and energy systems. This Special Issue will bring together innovative research from multidisciplinary domains, encouraging collaboration across materials science, mechanical engineering, bioengineering, and computational modelling.
Topics of Interest Include (but are not limited to):

  • Green and sustainable composites

  • Nano- and hybrid-reinforced composite systems

  • Mechanical, chemical, and functional property analysis

  • Corrosion, ageing, and durability studies

  • Additive manufacturing of composite parts

  • Smart and responsive materials

  • Biomaterials and bioengineering applications

  • Energy storage, filtration, and thermal regulation

  • Modeling and simulation using AI or digital twins

According to the latest SJR ranking, most of the IJMSE's indicators show an acceptable improvement from the quantitative and qualitative points of views. According to these data, while the number of published documents in 2019 was equal to 30, it gradually increased to 50 in 2022. Also, the number of external cite per document increased from approximately 0.4 to approximately 0.85. The total number of cites received by the jounal has also increased from about 50 to 120 during this period. It should be noted that the number of cited compared to non-cited documents has had a significant growing trend.

Special Issue on Materials in Additive Manufacturing

 | Post date: 2023/03/26 | 

 
Special Issue on Materials in Additive Manufacturing
Dear Professors/Teachers/Academicians/Research Scholars,
Having developed over the past thirty years, additive manufacturing has become a widely used manufacturing method. In additive manufacturing, materials are added layer-by-layer directly from a 3D model. Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, it can produce complex parts and offers more freedom for design optimization.
Currently, the development of 3Dprintable materials through all existing AM sub-technologies is becoming the focus of researchers' attention and the benchmark for business competitors' competence.
Leading scholars in materials in additive manufacturing will contribute to this special issue. As a result of their experience in materials processes such as synthesis, preparation, formulation, optimization of print parameters, and characterisation, papers will address topics such as:
  • Synthesis and preparation of materials to meet the requirements of AM techniques
  • Preparation of 3D printable materials
  • Parameter/material optimisation for tailoring the properties of prints
  • Materials development for 4D printing
  • Meta-Material creation via 3D and 4D printing.
  • 3Dprintable materials processed using a novel AM process
  • Influence of processing and post-processing on microstructure and mechanical properties
  • Materials characterisation for AM
  • Testing, modelling, and in-process monitoring enable the development and qualification of processes
