Mechanical Study of Biomaterials in Injury and Rehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

Current research in the field of mechanical study of biomaterials for injury and rehabilitation is focused on developing strategies to enhance tissue regeneration and improve the mechanical properties of implants. Biomimetic approaches are being used to create materials that mimic the structure and function of natural tissues. Mechanical loading is being explored to stimulate tissue growth, and advanced imaging techniques are being used to better understand the mechanical properties of tissues and biomaterials. Researchers are also investigating the use of 3D printing technology to create custom implants with tailored mechanical properties. However, various challenges remain, including developing materials that are both biocompatible and have the desired mechanical properties, as well as understanding the biological responses to different mechanical stimuli. The goal of this research is to improve patient outcomes by developing biomaterials that can better support tissue healing and improve the mechanical properties of medical devices.

This Special Issue is focused on the mechanical study of biomaterials in injury and rehabilitation, exploring their potential applications in treating injuries and aiding in rehabilitation. Submissions are encouraged, but not limited to, the following general areas:

• Biomaterials in bone regeneration;
• Mechanical properties of implantable materials for tendon and ligament tissues;
• Design of implantable devices;
• Biomechanics;
• New models of the damage mechanics of composite structures and human tissue.

This Special Issue will bring together recent research in an effort to identify new opportunities and further develop this field.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
