Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials, both natural and synthetic, living and nonliving, interact with biological systems for a medical purpose. In medicine, these biomaterials can augment or replace various natural functions, and be applied for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. In addition to allowing a biomaterial to be biocompatible, biofunctions have various other applications. Smart biomaterials possessing unique physical, chemical, or biological properties have been developed in recent decades to realize instructive/inductive functions in biomaterial–tissue inteactions and tissue engineering. This also provides opportunities to engineer different materials and electrical and sensing components with specific and unique advantages for smart biomaterial systems. This Special Issue aims to present the latest works on the development and various applications of smart biomaterials, collect the most recent development and findings, further explore smart biomaterial systems and clinical applications, and provide perspectives on the future direction of this field.

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. Biosensors 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
