About This Topic

Recently, several micromaterials and nanomaterials have been successfully synthesised to be utilised in a wide range of applications including advanced medical instruments, promising fundamental materials in building construction, electromechanical systems, and even enhancing agricultural production. To efficiently use micromaterials and nanomaterials in these applications, understanding the biophysical, electrical, and mechanical properties of these novel materials is crucial. Several advanced experimental and theoretical techniques have been introduced and utilised to predict the size-dependent behaviour of micromaterials and nanomaterials. This special issue welcomes original studies on novel scale-dependent continuum-based approaches, molecular dynamics modelling of ultrasmall structures, and experimental measurement at microscales and nanoscales. Scale-dependent continuum-based approaches include but are not limited to nonlocal elasticity, couple stress modelling, strain gradient theoretical techniques, and integral size-dependent models. Original articles on the electromechanical behaviour of smart ultrasmall materials such as piezoelectric micromaterials are highly welcomed. In addition, this special issue will publish comprehensive review articles reasonably written on the advanced experimental and theoretical techniques at microscale and nanoscale levels.
