Advanced 3D Printing Biomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Three-dimensional printing provides unprecedented opportunities for fabricating complex biomedical devices such as implants, scaffolds, and regenerative medicines. The advantages of using 3D printing are numerous, including the ability to create customized geometries, interconnected porous structures, functionally graded materials, co-culture of multiple cells, and incorporated medicines. Recently, many 3D printing approaches have been further developed to tackle the limitations in tissue regeneration. Further, many novel biomaterials have been developed to enable their use with 3D printing methods. The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss advanced 3D printing biomaterials including but not limited to metals, ceramics, polymers, and their composites. Both research and review articles focusing on 3D printing in biomedical applications are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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 2700 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.
