Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently new materials have been developed for different purposes. Advanced recent manufacturing techniques allow to create and fabricate materials and structures that can achieve multi-functional characteristics for a large variety of applications. Some processes allow to control the material structure at different scale from micro to nano allowing a very wide of new materials to be created. Aim of the special issue is to show the recent state of the art in this field providing a useful overview to the readers of the journal. Materials employed in the field of energy storage and transport as well as those used in biomedical applications will be considered here showing the high potential we have nowadays to tune material structures for targeted applications.
