Materials Advances in additive manufacturing: from processing to applications

Submissions now open

Deadline: 15 December 2025
Guest Editors: Dr Vincenzo Taresco, University of Nottingham
Dr Yinfeng He, University of Nottingham
Dr Katharina Ehrmann, Vienna University of Technology
Dr Belén Begines, University of Seville

We invite a broad range of submissions for this collection, including original research articles, reviews, and perspectives. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • Design and Synthesis of Advanced Inorganic and Organic Precursors (e.g., Photoinitiators, Metals, Alloys, Crosslinkers, Monomers and Macromonomers, among others): Development of new chemistries specifically tailored for additive manufacturing. 
  • Stimuli-Responsive and Functional Materials: Engineering of materials with dynamic, adaptive properties that respond to external triggers, supporting advanced applications in biomedicine, electronics, and environmental technologies. 
  • Innovative Printing and Characterisation Techniques: Advancement of printing methodologies, including but not limited to volumetric and multi-material 3D printing, and characterisation tools for assessing the rheological, mechanical, and functional performance of novel materials under both standard and non-standard additive manufacturing conditions. 
  • Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications: Development of biocompatible and bioactive scaffolds for use in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering scaffolds, regenerative therapies, and personalised medical devices. 
  • Innovative Applications of Additive Manufacturing: Utilisation of functionalised materials in diverse sectors including food-grade systems, soft robotics, wearable sensors etc. 
  • Sustainable and Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing: Biodegradable, recyclable, and bio-based materials that support sustainable development and circular economy principles. 
  • Multidisciplinary Integration and Computational Design: Computational modelling, machine learning, and simulations to predict material behaviour, optimise printability, and accelerate the discovery of new materials.

Manuscripts should be submitted via our and the editorial office informed by email. Please add a “note to the editor” in the submission form when you submit your manuscript to say that this is a submission for this themed collection.

The Editorial Office and Guest Editors reserve the right to check the suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of the collection and inclusion of accepted articles in the collection is not guaranteed. All manuscripts will be subject to the journal's usual peer review process. Accepted manuscripts will be added to the online collection as soon as they are online, and they will be published in a regular issue of Materials Advances.
