Biomimetic Smart Materials and Devices in Medicine
This special issue belongs to the section “Materials Science and Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern medicine is taking advantage of continuous progresses in biomedical engineering. This Special Issue is dedicated to presenting the most promising recent research advancements of new hybrid and smart materials for biomimetic and bionic devices and innovative biomechanical research approaches, as well as reviewing results from a broad category related to the application of biomedical engineering with new biomimetic metals, ceramics, polymers and their combinations in nanocomposites and hybrid materials.
The aim of this Special Issue is to outline the convergence between clinical applications and biomedical engineering from the perspective of innovative materials science and technologies.
Prof. Dr. Antonio Apicella
Guest Editor
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
