Dear Nitinol Experts,
The journal Shape Memory and Superelasticity is organizing a
special issue dedicated to Nitinol medical devices. This
issue will address scientific and engineering topics that relate to the durability and the function of
cardiovascular implants manufactured from Nitinol. Certain examples of such topics include fatigue properties, influence of processing on device performance, and interaction between
cardiovascular physiology and the Nitinol material.
The journal is soliciting original research articles that broadly fall in the scope of this
special issue. Typical research articles will be approximately 8 journal pages in length. Longer papers can be accommodated with permission from the guest editors.
Srinidhi Nagaraja and Harshad Paranjape will be guest editors in this
special issue. Please inform both guest editors if interested in submitting an article to this
special issue by September 30, 2021. The manuscript deadline is January 15, 2022, and all papers will undergo peer review consistent with the journal policy. Papers accepted through peer review will immediately be available on the journal website and will be published in the
special issue in the Spring of 2022.
Please send any queries to Srinidhi Nagaraja (
srinidhi.Nagaraja@g-rau.com) and Harshad Paranjape (
harshad.paranjape@confluentmedical.com).
We look forward to your contributions!
