Bone Tissue Engineering Materials: From Preparation to Properties
This special issue belongs to the section "Biomaterials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled "Materials for Bone Tissue Engineering: From Preparation to Properties" aims to present the latest research and development progress in the field of biomaterials designed specifically for bone tissue engineering, with a special focus on bone cements. Bone cements play a key role in orthopedic surgery and are essential for implant fixation and bone reconstruction. This Special Issue will therefore cover a wide range of aspects within this topic, including the development of innovative preparation techniques and methods for evaluating the properties and durability of bone cements.
We hope that this Special Issue will be a valuable resource for researchers, engineers and clinicians interested in the latest developments and future directions of biomaterials, particularly bone cements, in bone tissue engineering.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
