Advances in Biomedical Materials: Preparation, Characterization, and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical materials are widely used for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and the repair or replacement of damaged tissues. At present, biomedical materials have become one of the fastest developing areas in medicine with the greatest potential. In the century of nanoscale, the scientific and clinical approaches of pharmaceuticals are challenging, and in many cases, the necessity of emphasizing practical solutions and applications to theoretical and research-based problems occurs.

Active biomedical materials are designed to interact with biological systems for therapeutics. These materials have various applications such as tissue regeneration and repair, controlled drug delivery. The synthesis and fabrication of active biomedical materials require the use of different methods and technologies.

The Special Issue coverage spans a wide range of topics from basic science to clinical applications, around the theme of preparation, performance, and evaluation of advanced biomedical materials; the chemical, physical, toxicological, and mechanical behavior of materials in physiological environments; and the response of blood and tissues to biomedical materials.

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.
