Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the advances of electrical technologies, many bio-implantable devices which can be injected into animals for medical purposes have been developed and recently reported on. Multifunctional and/or high-performance bio-implants could analyze and collect the biological information and properly treat with a curing action by means of something like a wireless drug delivery device. While electrical technologies could realize various medical operations, the materials themselves remain in need of development in order to protect the bio-implants after injection into the body. The bio-implantable electronic devices need robust protective coatings to survive against the mechanical and chemical impacts which are caused by living bodies while their own performances are still in operation.
The objective of this Special Issue is to introduce new approaches about protective coatings for bio-implantable devices and applications.
This Special Issue will include the following topics of interest (but it is not limited to them):
- Materials and/or structures of protective coatings for bio-implants.
- Deposition and process techniques of encapsulating coatings for implantable devices.
- Anti-mechanical and/or anti-chemical barriers for implantable applications
- Applications of bio-implantable devices.
- Novel bio-implants and materials which showing potential for bio-implantable applications.

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.
