The results demonstrate that insufficient energy input promotes the formation of re-entrant geometries through incomplete melting and particle bonding. The proposed method enables quantitative assessment of complex AM surface features that are inaccessible to traditional instruments, offering a pathway toward improved process control, surface quality evaluation, and functional performance optimization in metal AM. The geometry-based nature of the method suggests its applicability to a broader range of materials and additive manufacturing processes, provided appropriate imaging resolution is achieved.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1860387 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1860387 <![CDATA[Evaluation of orthodontic bracket bond strength and debonding effects on various restorative materials: an in vitro study]]> 2026-06-23T00:00:00Z Original Research Khalid AlmoammarAbdullah AlsaikhanFahad AlmutairiAbdullah AladwaniRakan AlghaslanHaya AlEidAbdulaziz AlqahtaniSyed Rashid Habib https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1872977 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1872977 <![CDATA[Embedded 3D printing beyond formability: process-window design, interfacial fidelity and application reliability]]> 2026-06-23T00:00:00Z Mini Review Rongji TangZhenghui WangChangkun ZhangLiansong WangLiancheng ZhengHe KongShuo LiXianzheng Liu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1906521 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1906521 <![CDATA[Expression of Concern: Hybrids of SiO2 substrate and electrospun Ni-MOF/polysulfone fibers for an efficient removal of CH4 gas pollution]]> 2026-06-22T00:00:00Z Correction https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1831574 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1831574 <![CDATA[Engineering metal-ion microenvironment modulation for spinal cord injury: from controlled release platforms to regeneration]]> 2026-06-18T00:00:00Z Review Dinghai ZhouTaiyun ZengNanlamao SuoXiaoli YinSheng ZhangZhansheng Lu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1838502 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1838502 <![CDATA[Optimization of injection molding parameters for automotive brake fluid reservoirs: design of experiments study across 27 industrial machines]]> 2026-06-17T00:00:00Z Original Research Jibran HussainJiang DapingZhu NanyangLuo ZhenweiChen YongZhang JianfengAsif RazaAnjum ShahzadZhou Sen https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1714763 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1714763 <![CDATA[Energy evolution and damage-failure characteristics of FACs UHPC under cyclic loading ]]> 2026-06-17T00:00:00Z Original Research Yunfei XiaoJinjin GeWei HuangPeiyuan ChenLingxia HuangShancheng WenBoxin Su https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1839264 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1839264 <![CDATA[Characterization of concealed pavement distresses based on ground-penetrating radar: an integrated experimental and numerical study]]> 2026-06-16T00:00:00Z Original Research Xiaodong JiaoShengjie LiuJianping XiongXiaochao LiHui LiJianan Liu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1831858 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1831858 <![CDATA[Reaction mechanisms of the hydration products of solidified sulfate saline soils in the long-term solid waste period]]> 2026-06-16T00:00:00Z Original Research Chongyang WangJingwei GongChong ShiMiaomiao GongZeshi Ren https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1813690 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1813690 <![CDATA[Effect of fly ash and metakaolin on early-age autogenous shrinkage and mechanical properties of ultra-high-performance concrete]]> 2026-06-15T00:00:00Z Original Research Yutai LiuRuiqing HaoLin LiaoJinchang ZhaoZhiling LiaoZebiao HouMingji Ding https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1715897 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1715897 <![CDATA[Sand shape effect on the hydraulic conductivity and compressibility of clay sand liners]]> 2026-06-12T00:00:00Z Original Research Muawia DafallaAbdullah A.

Ultrasonic pulse velocity correlated positively with cement content. This trend indicated increased matrix densification with higher cement content. SEM and EDS analyses confirmed that specimens with uniform distribution of elements (Si, Al, Ca, Fe) formed dense three-dimensional networks via hydration products. This microstructure thus conferred optimal structural integrity. The recommended optimal mix ratio for L.C.F.mix is lime:cement:fly ash = 6:8:88, with a water content of 52% and a foaming agent dosage of 1:45. The findings provide a scientific basis for large-scale application of the L.C.F.mix in hard-to-compact areas, such as abutment backs and narrow structures, and support advancements in green infrastructure and industrial waste recycling.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1849375 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1849375 <![CDATA[Bridging processing and performance in Ti–6Al–4V: WAAM parameters and wear behavior across traditional and additive manufacturing routes]]> 2026-06-08T00:00:00Z Review Sachin Kumar BadhanPradeep Raja CAnirban ChakrabortyRhoda Afriyie Mensah https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1799264 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1799264 <![CDATA[Study on seismic response of gabbro rock slope based on the back slope effect]]> 2026-06-04T00:00:00Z Original Research Lei ZhangYunsheng WangZhihua TanYanyun FanFasen JiangJian MiHongbiao Xu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1803728 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmats.2026.1803728 <![CDATA[Study on the evolution law and multi-scale damage mechanism of emulsified asphalt under aging environment]]> 2026-06-04T00:00:00Z Original Research Chao Hu
