Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Smart materials can be defined as materials that incorporate the functions of sensing, actuation, and control. The development of smart polymer nanocomposites (SPNs) has drawn high levels of scientific and industrial interest in recent years. Smart polymer nanocomposites (SPNs) which can be derived from stimulus-responsive polymers, shape memory polymers, magnetorheological (MR) polymers, self-healing polymers, self-cleaning polymers, self-sensing polymers, self-heating polymers, and energy-harvesting and energy-storing polymers are the latest hot research topics. This Topic will also present selected papers from “The International Conference on Structural Analysis of Advanced Materials (ICSAAM)”, which will be held in Protaras, Cyprus, from 6 to 10 October 2024 (https://icsaam2024.eu/). The International Conference on Structural Analysis of Advanced Materials (ICSAAM) was initiated more than a decade ago and is an international conference co-organized by six different European universities, where friends and colleagues working in scientific fields mainly related to the engineering and biomechanics of polymers and polymeric composites, metals, ceramics, biomaterials, and nanomaterials as they are applied to modern industrial applications gather to exchange new ideas on subjects related to the mechanical and structural analysis of advanced materials.

ICSAAM 2024 is the 11th conference in the series since 2005. It is organized by Greece (the University of Patras), Romania (Politehnica University of Bucharest), France (the National School of Engineers of Tarbes), Portugal (the University of Porto), Italy (the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”), and Cyprus (AmaDema and the University of Nicosia).

The conference deals with (i) materials processing and structures, (ii) degradation and modeling, and (iii) experimental techniques. We encourage the submission of manuscripts focusing on topics including, but not limited to, the current research on; novel concepts and technologies related to; and approaches to the basic and advanced aspects of smart materials and smart polymers .

A. Materials processing and structures:

  • Polymers and polymer matrix composites
  • Ceramic and metallic matrix composites
  • Nanocomposites
  • Biomaterials and medical applications
  • Smart materials
  • Green composites
  • Sandwich structures

B. Degradation and modeling:

  • Damage and fracture
  • Fatigue (mechanical, thermal, etc.)
  • Durability and reliability
  • Large deformations
  • Impact damage
  • Water absorption
  • Analytical and numerical modeling

C. Experimental techniques:

  • NDT-NDI
  • Thermal analysis
  • Mechanical testing
  • Vibration analysis
  • Dynamic behavior
  • Manufacturing techniques
  • Viscoelastic behavior (creep, relaxation, etc.)

Despite the impressive properties of additively manufactured products, their inherent anisotropy is a crucial challenge for polymeric parts made via fused filament fabrication (FFF). This study compared the tensile, thermophysical, smoke density, and toxicity characteristics of Ultem 9085 (a blend of polyetherimide and polycarbonate) for samples printed in various orientations (X, Y, and Z). The results revealed that mechanical properties, such as elastic modulus and tensile strength, significantly differed from the Z printing orientation, particularly in the X and Y printing layer orientations. Thermomechanical analysis revealed that Ultem 9085 had high anisotropic effects in the coefficient of thermal expansion, indicating superior thermal properties along the printing orientation. The smoke density and toxicity test results proved that Ultem 9085 complies with aviation safety standards. Smoke density tests showed that all samples, regardless of print orientation or thickness, stayed well below the regulatory limit, making them suitable for aircraft interiors. Full article
