This month’s Advanced Engineering Materials covers and top papers!
Optimizing Design Solutions for Aeronautical Structures
To increase the structural efficiency of composite aircraft requires further optimization of aeronautical structures to maximally exploit the material performance.
Texture and Microstructure of Engineering Materials
This Special Section of Advanced Engineering Materials presents reviews and original research on topics related to the texture and microstructure of engineering materials.
Paper-Derived Ferroelectric Ceramics
The ability to fabricate a multilayer functional ceramic with tailored pore structure using the preceramic-paper technology in conjunction with calendaring, lamination and sintering is demonstrated.
Self-Sensing Polymer Composites
Strain-sensitive ‘smart’ materials that can monitor their own strain and internal damage state.

Nano-Architecting Metallic Glass
3D metallic glass nano-lattices are fabricated which are composed of hollow beams of sputtered metallic glass and which are 20 times lighter than their bulk-level counterparts.
Bending Sensor Foils
A sensor foil made from polymers withstands bending to a radius of 11 mm, and elongation by 1.4% without losing functionality.
Introducing a Zinc Oxide-PTFE Nanocomposite Varistor by Cold Sintering
It is shown that polymer such as Teflon can be distributed around each grain of ZnO, and this, in turn, allows for use to form a composite material with an electrical conduction that is blocked at low fields and conducts at high field through the quantum mechanical process known as “tunneling”.
Nanoporous Superalloy Membranes
Ni-based superalloys, hitherto utilized exclusively for high temperature applications, e.g. as turbine blades in aero engines, are used to prepare heat-resistant membranes.
