Guest Editor(s)
Special Issue Introduction
We are pleased to announce the inception of our Special Issue entitled "Exploring the Multiscale Mechanics of Soft Materials". It will comprise a collection of papers to be featured in the esteemed international journal Soft Science. These papers have been handpicked for publication by our distinguished Guest Editor, Prof. Fahmi Zaïri.
Soft materials, spanning from biological tissues to synthetic polymers and gels, play an indispensable role across a multitude of industries and biological systems. Their intricate and unique mechanical behavior creates a fertile ground for advancements that intersect the realms of physics, engineering, and biology. Furthermore, they offer unprecedented prospects for innovation, representing the key to groundbreaking progress in diverse fields such as healthcare, bioengineering, robotics, and materials science. A comprehensive understanding of the multiscale mechanics underpinning these materials is essential for developing cutting-edge technologies and biomedical solutions.
his Special Issue welcomes contributions that shed light on the mechanisms governing these fascinating materials at various scales, whether through computational simulations, theoretical approaches, or experimental studies. We invite researchers from various disciplines to participate, with a focus on multiscale and coupled mechanics, including electro-mechanics, thermo-mechanics, chemo-mechanics, and biomechanics. The collection of papers within this Special Issue will provide a platform for fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue, aiming to disseminate discoveries and identify future challenges and opportunities that will shape the landscape of this rapidly evolving field.
In our commitment to ensuring the highest standards of quality and rigor, every contribution will undergo a thorough peer-review process.
