Fundamental Biomechanics in Implant Design and Bone Tissue Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites interdisciplinary scientific research papers (articles), reviews, and communications about the biomechanics of biomaterials for implants and tissue engineering, especially the latest manufacturing techniques, such as additive manufacturing. This specific Special Issue focuses on topics in engineering, physics, chemistry, and material science. The objective of this issue is to understand the behavior of different biomaterials when inside the body, whether in vivo, in vitro or simulated using finite element analysis. The mission of this issue is to focus the attention on mechanical, physicochemical, and biological characteristics and their importance in the interactions between biomaterials and living tissues, as well as studies on the preparation, performance, and use of biomaterials in biomedical devices in physiological environments.

The scope of the Special Issue includes but is not limited to:

• Biomechanics of implants—the design and analysis of implants to repair or replace different organs, for example, for bone, dental, and tissue engineering and so on;
• Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine—biomaterial sciences, methods/technologies to engineer scaffolds from biomaterials, and scaffold-based tissue regeneration and visualization.

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.
