Smart Materials in Manufacturing focuses on the development and application of advanced materials, particularly in manufacturing processes. Recent articles highlight the use of biodegradable metals (magnesium, zinc, iron) for biomedical implants and surgical devices, with research into their degradation behavior, mechanical properties, and fabrication via additive manufacturing. The journal also covers composite materials, including natural fiber-reinforced polymers and graphene-reinforced metal matrices, for applications ranging from tissue engineering scaffolds to wear-resistant components. Furthermore, research explores smart materials for bacterial detection and nanocarriers for drug delivery, alongside advancements in mechanical metamaterials and surface enhancement techniques.
