Interfaces play an essential role in determining the mechanical properties and the structural integrity of a wide variety of technological materials. As new manufacturing methods become available, interface engineering and architecture at multiscale length levels in multi-physics materials open up to applications with high innovation potential. This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances in fundamental and applications of solid material interfaces.

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods have grown and evolved rapidly in recent years. AM for polymers is particularly exciting and has great potential in transformative and translational research in many fields, such as biomedicine, aerospace, and even electronics. The current methods for polymer AM include material extrusion, material jetting, vat polymerization, and powder bed fusion. In this Special Issue, state-of-the-art reviews and current research results, which focus on the process–structure–properties relationships in polymer additive manufacturing, are reported. These include, but are not limited to, assessing the effect of process parameters, post-processing, and characterization techniques.
