Innovations In Advanced Materials and Manufacturing provides insights into the mechanics, characteristics, behavior, application, and manufacturing of advanced materials such as nanowires, 2D materials, biomaterials, smart materials, and more. The book discusses the materials themselves, with chapters dedicated to the mechanics and electronic and magnetic properties of nanomaterials, photonic, and phononic materials and devices, 2D magnetic materials, smart materials and coatings, metamaterials, and microdevices and sensors. Other sections cover manufacturing technologies and methods of previously discussed materials, outlining manufacturing techniques for additive manufacturing of metallic lattice structures, biomedical alloys, shape memory alloys, multifunctional polymer composites, nanocomposite structures, ceramics, and batteries.

Mohammad Nasr Esfahani is a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering in the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology since 2019. He received his PhD in 2017 focusing on fabrication and modelling of nanomechanical devices at Koç University, and continued as a Research Fellow in the same research group after achieving the TUBITAK-BIDEB fellowship.
Mohammad then joined Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick, in 2018 lecturing on Solid Mechanics and Finite Element Analysis.
He joined the University of York as a Lecturer in Engineering Programme in 2019. His research interest is directed toward developing materials, devices and systems to solve engineering problems by microsystems and nanodevices. During his research, he has introduced a series of new technologies for high resolution sensors and actuators.
Doctor Esfahani demonstrated the application of those technologies to i) new-generation, ultimately small accelerometers, ii) nanoscale frequency references, and iii) a new Micro-Nanoscale integration technique. Accordingly, he has been developing new computational modelling approaches to consider the high surface energy contribution for nanostructures with engineering applications.
Masoud Jabbari is an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds. His research focuses at using a combination of modelling, theory and simulation to study “advanced materials and manufacturing processes” that are complex due to multiscale nature of materials, the rheology of fluid, and multiphysics phenomena in which the interactions of various effects (thermal, chemical, electric or mechanical) lead to complex dynamics. Most of our research are motivated by processing and manufacturing of different materials (ceramics, polymers, and [nano-]composites), and engineering applications (for example aerospace structures and energy storage materials).
