Polymers and Polymer-Based Composites for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) comprises a number of technologies which allow the design and fabrication of complex and tailor-made structures at different scales with high reproducibility without the need for any mold. This has allowed AM to establish itself as a powerful alternative to traditional manufacturing. In this context, the development of new materials for AM with enhanced mechanical and/or functional properties has gained enormous interest both in the scientific community and the industrial sector.

The scope of this Special Issue includes the synthesis, processing, and characterization of novel polymers and polymer-based composites for additive manufacturing, as well as 3D printing of structural and functional materials with potential interest in the industry. We encourage submissions where practical applications are presented, ranging from nanotechnology to large format additive manufacturing.
