Advances in Textile Materials for Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Textiles are essential in biomedical applications due to their versatility, biocompatibility, and customizable properties. Some key textile materials used in biomedical applications include natural, synthetic, and smart textiles. These materials are used in wound care, implants, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and wearable medical devices. Textile materials used in biomedical applications must provide biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and functionality. While natural textile materials offer biodegradability, synthetic and smart textiles provide advanced performance for implants, wound care, and diagnostics. Future advancements in nanotechnology, 3D printing, and bioengineering will further expand their biomedical applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the advancement of textile materials for biomedical applications.

This Special Issue of Materials titled “Advances in Textile Materials for Biomedical Applications”, considers papers describing the development of new textile materials for biomedical applications. Theoretical contributions can be included, but all papers considered must include an experimental component. Any paper with a demonstrated biomedical application will be considered, including in the following areas:

• Natural textile materials for biomedical applications.
• Synthetic textile materials for biomedical applications.
• Smart textile materials for biomedical applications.

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.
