Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Structural Biomaterials and Bioinspired Mechanical Metamaterials for Sustainable Application” focuses on the emerging concepts that allow the design of new or improved mechanical metamaterials as well as the characterization of the structural biomaterials. Authoritative review articles and original research papers describing recent findings in the field of biomaterials and bioinspired metamaterials are expected to cover a range of topics.
The potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Characterization of mechanical properties of biomaterials;
- Design, analysis, and development of bioinspired mechanical metamaterials;
- Bioinspired auxetic mechanical metamaterials;
- Bioinspired hierarchical metamaterials;
- Advance manufacturing of bioinspired metamaterials;
- Sustainable biomaterial products;
- Bioinspired 3D printing of mechanical metamaterials.
I strongly encourage you to submit papers on your most recent research on biomaterials and bioinspired mechanical metamaterials to this Special Issue.

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.
