Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your paper to our Special Issue, entitled "Advanced Biomimetic Materials: Manufacturing and Mechanical Properties".
In recent years, advanced biomimetic materials have emerged as a transformative approach in materials science, integrating nature-inspired hierarchical structures and dynamic mechanical properties to address complex engineering challenges. By emulating the multiscale architecture of biological systems, researchers leverage advanced manufacturing techniques to create materials with exceptional toughness, adaptability, and functionality. The cross-disciplinary integration of mechanics, biology, and materials science drives innovation in load-bearing implants and adaptive systems. Emerging research directions focus on self-healing mechanisms and stimuli-responsive behaviors.
We welcome original research articles and reviews on topics related to biomimetic materials. We wish to contribute to the subject of the article, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Synthesis and characterization of biomimetic materials;
- Advanced materials: metals, composites, and polymers;
- Design of biomimetic structures;
- Multiscale manufacturing;
- Advanced surfaces and coatings;
- Additive manufacturing;
- Mechanical

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.
