Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute a full article or review to this Special Issue, entitled “Nanobiomaterials: From Fundamentals to Biomedical Applications”.
In the last few years, the study of functional nanomaterials and biomaterials has become a distinctive subject of research. Nanobiomaterials are biomaterials in nanoscale, natural or synthetic, that interact with biological systems to perform a specific function. Nanobiomaterials can serve as an integral part of devices intended to sense a biological response, to deliver a drug in a controlled manner or to direct a specific physiological function. Nanobiomaterials are materials with typical size features in the lower nanometer size range and characteristic mesoscopic properties—for example, quantum size effects. These properties make them attractive objects of fundamental research and potential new applications. Nanobiomaterials also include inorganic materials functionalized with ligands, biomaterials, and biomolecules.
This Special Issue focuses on the fabrication and characterization of nanobiomaterials followed by fundamental aspects of functional nanomaterials and biomaterials to study their interactions with biological and biomedical systems and more. The interdisciplinary aspect of this Special Issue means it is open to all aspects of nanomaterial- and biomaterial-related research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
