Call for papers: Additive Manufacturing

Molecular Systems Design & Engineering (MSDE) is delighted to announce a call for papers for its latest themed collection on “Additive Manufacturing” Guest Edited by Luke Connal (Australia National University) and Joseph DeSimone (Stanford University).

This collection aims to showcase the rapid innovations in additive manufacturing, including new processes, new materials and new applications. We are particularly interested in receiving submissions at the interface of multiple disciplines and that show applied systems.

 

Deadline for submission: 8 April 2022

 

Manuscripts should be submitted via the Royal Society of Chemistry’s online submission service available at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/msde. Please add a “note to the editor” in the submission form when you submit your manuscript to say that this is a submission for the themed collection. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of the collection.

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 MSDE.

If you have any questions about the journal or the collection, then please do contact the Editorial Office at molecularengineering-rsc@rsc.org.

We are very pleased to announce that Dr Luke Connal has joined MSDE as an Associate Editor

Luke Connal is an Associate Professor at the Research School of Chemistry at the Australian National University (ANU) where he is an ANU Futures Fellow.  His research program is in the design of advanced polymeric materials for applied systems. He has been recognised by numerous awards such as the ACS Chemical and Engineering News Talented 12. You can follow him on Twitter @LukeConnal.

 

Quote from Luke: I love the term molecular engineering - I believe this is at the heart of new matreials and applications. To design new materials with interesting properties you need to start from the molecular level. Molecular engineering is a great term that describes the intersection of different fields, including chemistry, materials engineering and biology. In the future I hope these traditional silos break down and we are thinking about molecular engineering in a general way to achieve our desired outcomes.
