Carbon-Related Materials for Bioengineering

Dear Colleagues,

I am very pleased to invite you to submit your work to the Special Issue on “Carbon-Related Materials for Bioengineering”. Despite the novelty of carbon-related materials, they have significantly influenced the landscape of bioengineering by providing a much-improved effectiveness and economically feasible alternatives for the current solutions in several areas of the field. This Special Issue of Materials on “Carbon-Related Materials for Bioengineering” focuses on the methods that have been developed and applied to produce and functionalize hierarchically exquisite carbon structures and also covers advanced characterization, computational, physical, and biological aspects.

This Special Issue aims to bring together leading researchers to exchange and share their findings for the development of carbon-based products. Carbon-related materials are considered very promising for high-end electronics, while their versatile and tunable features allow for ground-breaking bioengineering applications when creatively used.  The manuscripts to be featured include original research, review, mini-review, and perspective articles. Themes to be investigated may include but are not limited to:

• Carbon-related materials development;
• Carbon-related materials characterization;
• Implantable devices, drug delivery systems, bionanotechnology, and tissue engineering based on carbon materials;
• Carbon-related material composites for industrial applications based on commercial demand;
• Computer-aided design and investigation of carbon-related materials;
• Carbon-related materials for biosensing devices.

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-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.
