Feature Paper Collection in 'Surface Coatings for Biomedicine and Bioengineering'

Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of the Section “Surface Coatings for Biomedicine and Bioengineering”, I am excited to announce a Special Feature Paper Collection for this section. I would like to invite leading experts in the field to contribute high quality papers to this collection. This Feature Paper Collection aims to present novel approaches, improvements, or new cutting-edge developments in the field of surface coatings for biomedicine and bioengineering.

The particular areas of interest for this Topical Collection include but are not limited to:

• Design and processing of coatings
• Biomimetic approaches for tuning surface characteristics
• Particularities in coating characterization
• Tuning the properties and performances of medical devices according with the nature and deposition parameters of the coatings

Feature articles and reviews from top experts are welcome. We are happy to offer discount of 20% on the APCs for any article published, with additional discounts available if the contribution is a review that might be of great interest in this field. The criteria mainly include the academic background of the scholar, the publication record, the novelty and significance of content, and the peer-review results of the paper.

In addition, if 10 or more papers are published in this collection, we will make a collection book, and the leading authors of each article will receive a hard copy of this book.

Prof. Dr. Anton Ficai
Collection Editor
