Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials have revolutionized the landscape of modern medicine, offering innovative solutions for diagnostics, therapeutics, and regenerative applications. As the field continues to evolve, the development of advanced fabrication strategies plays a pivotal role in tailoring biomaterials to meet specific biomedical needs, ranging from tissue engineering and drug delivery to the development of implantable devices and biosensors.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research and technological advancements in the design, synthesis, and application of biomaterials, with a particular focus on fabrication techniques. We welcome contributions that explore novel methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and translational research that bridges the gap between laboratory innovation and clinical practice.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced fabrication techniques (e.g., 3D printing, electrospinning, microfluidics);
- Smart and stimuli-responsive biomaterials;
- Surface modification and functionalization strategies;
- Biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine;
- Controlled drug delivery systems;
- Biocompatibility and in vivo performance;
- Biofabrication for organ-on-chip and lab-on-chip technologies.

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.
