Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in biomaterials and medical devices have transformed the landscape of healthcare, enabling more effective, personalized, and minimally invasive treatments. This Special Issue, “Advanced Materials and Devices for Medical Interventions”, aims to explore cutting-edge research in the development, fabrication, and application of novel materials and devices designed to enhance medical diagnostics, treatment, and patient care.
The focus of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, innovations in biomaterials, nanomaterials, biofabrication techniques, medical implants, and intelligent medical devices. Particular emphasis will be given to additive manufacturing, smart implants, bioresorbable materials, drug delivery systems, and AI-enabled medical technologies. Contributions showcasing novel functional materials, engineering approaches, and translational research towards clinical applications are highly encouraged.
This Special Issue will bridge gaps by providing a platform for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of materials science, biomedical engineering, and clinical practice. By highlighting the latest advancements in bio-inspired materials, smart sensing, and next-generation medical devices, we aim to foster collaboration between researchers, engineers, and healthcare professionals to accelerate the development of transformative medical technologies.
