We intend to analyze and discuss different topics on special materials for medical applications. There is great potential in the application of active or smart materials (metallic, polymer or ceramic) for the progression of applications in the medical domain of MEMS, actuators, sensors or functional systems. Active or "smart" materials have the ability to respond to different physical or chemical stimuli in a specific, repeatable mode. The actual activity in the domain, however, presents problems connected to obtaining, processing, characterizing, modeling and simulating or prototyping technologies. This Special Issue focuses on the most recent advances in obtaining and thermal and mechanical processing active materials used in the medical field with enhanced performances.History of engineering and technologybicsscMaterials sciencebicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssc3D printingalkyl structureatomic force microscopebeta-titanium wirebiodegradablebodily movementcadaverCo-Cr-Wcorrosioncurcuminoid-silanol filmsdemetoxilationdental bridgesdental materialsdroplet adhesionear canalear speculumEDSEDS elemental mappingelectrochemical evaluationelectrophoresisendoscopyFEMMfinite element analysisHAhealthy and reduced periodontiumhemp compositein vitro testinlaysLIFmagnetic abrasive finishingmandibular anterior teethMg-Ca-Gd alloysmicrohardnessmicroscratchmicrostructuremulti-feed movementn/aorthodonticsPLDprofilometryscratch testself-expandable metallic stentSEMSEM-EDSskin barrier functionskin permeabilitysurface roughnesssurfactantTi4Al4Zrtransdermal patchturmericZnHistory of engineering and technologyMaterials scienceTechnology: general issuesCimpoesu Nicanoredt1315241Cimpoesu RamonaedtCimpoesu NicanorothCimpoesu RamonaothBOOK9910619466103321Active Materials for Medical Applications3032288UNINA
