Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials are materials that are designed to interact with biological systems for either therapeutic or medical diagnostic purposes. Various biomaterials have been developed for use as synthetic bone graft substitutes, ranging from metals to polymers; however, bioceramics remain the most used materials. Furthermore, calcium orthophosphates (CaP), due to their similarity to the mineral phase of bones, are the most widely used. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the only CaP that can be obtained both by precipitation in aqueous systems at low temperatures and by reaction in the solid state. HAp represents approximately 65% of the weight of bone tissue, but the properties of bone are not only explained by its composition but also by its complex structure.
In this Special Issue, we aim to bring together interdisciplinary studies focused on research on recent advances in the creation of innovative and functional nanostructured materials that could be used in bone generation.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
