This Special Issue is being launched in cooperation with the 2nd International Online Conference on Functional Biomaterials (IOCFB), organized by the Journal of Functional Biomaterials (JFB) from 8 to 10 July 2026 on the MDPI Sciforum platform. We welcome submissions from those participating in this conference.
All contributors to the conference, whether they have contributed to oral or poster sessions, are encouraged to submit a full paper related to their contribution to this Special Issue of JFB via this link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jfb. The submission of manuscripts to JFB will follow the standard peer-review process.
The Special Issue of JFB will maintain the topical subdivisions of the conference by covering the following eight fields:
Dental Biomaterials;
Bone Biomaterials;
Antibacterial Biomaterials and Surfaces;
Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine;
Biomaterials for Drug Delivery and Therapy;
Biomaterials and Implantable Devices for Healthcare;
Bioprinting and Bio-fabrication;
Reactive/Smart biomaterials.
