Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Medical Biomaterials: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application”. Biomaterials have received a great deal of attention in medical performance due to their unique biological, mechanical, and physical properties. In the recent decade, the field of biomaterials engineering has gained a leading role in medical science and engineering and attracts great scientific and research interest with a view to producing cost-effective and advanced multifunctional materials for biomedical applications. This Special Issue will primarily focus on synthesis, characterization, and development of surface modification strategies for biomaterials and on improving an understanding of the biomaterial surface structure and its relationship to biological performance.
We invite investigators majoring in the biomaterials and medical area to contribute review and original papers describing the present need and future challenges of biomaterials and discussing recent breakthroughs on biomaterial-designing efforts revolutionizing biomedical fields.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Surface modification of bioinspired biomaterials;
- Self- assembly biomaterials (ceramics and polymers);
- Novel concepts to synthesis biomaterials;
- Biomedical biomaterials:
- 3D cell culture and tissue engineering;
- 3D tissue/organ model;
- Bio-artificial organ;
- Monitoring cell/tissue interactions with 3D cell culture;
- Human organ-on-chip models;
- 3D Models in cancer research;
- Pharmaceutical biomaterials:
- Physical properties;
- Nanostructures properties;
- Additive manufacturing;
- In vitro and in vivo evaluation;
- Micro fabrication;
- Drug delivery systems;
- Gene delivery.

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. Coatings 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.
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.
