Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The importance of materials in the biomedical field is irrefutable, as can be seen by their numerous applications such as in scaffolds, sensors, implants, and tissue engineering. The choice of materials with the required properties (chemical, physical, biological, biomechanical and degradation) for the use that is intended is crucial to their success. The fact that they can present a variety of forms (films, coatings, membranes, fibers, foams, etc.) allows one to make the best choice for the therapeutic purpose.
A large diversity of organic materials has been investigated for biomedical applications. From natural-based and synthetic polymers to more complex materials such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), carbon-dots, and porous organic polymers, much research has been done in this field. The combination of materials in such a way that the obtained composite presents customized properties (chemical, physical and mechanical) is also an evolving and promising field.
In this Special Issue of Materials, full research papers, communications, and review articles on the latest advances in the synthesis, characterization, application, and modelling studies of organic and composite materials are all welcome.

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.
