Biomaterials and Antimicrobial Coatings

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, the materials science field has been rapidly expanding and the area of biomaterials is one of the most studied due to its importance at a global level. In the past few decades, numerous significant advances have been registered in the technology of biomedical coatings and materials with multiple uses in medicine, dentistry, pharmaceutics, and the food industry. Furthermore, great importance has been attributed to the development of biomaterials with antimicrobial properties due to their tremendous potential in the development of novel antimicrobial agents. Thus, significant efforts have been made to develop new and improved nanocomposites with biocompatible properties and antimicrobial activity to be used in biomedical applications. In this context, this Special Issue is focused on the development of biomaterials with antimicrobial properties for biomedical 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.
