Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We welcome you to contribute to this Special Issue of Materials entitled “New Generation Materials for Advanced Electronic and Biomedical Applications”.
The design and synthesis of new inorganic and organic materials and composites with predetermined optical, electrical, mechanical and magnetic properties for electronic and biomedical applications is crucial. This Special Issue aims to gather recent research results regarding the appropriate initial composition of a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials, as well as their composites. It will also address the preparation of these composites via a range of experimental techniques. This Special Issue also aims to provide a brief review of the methods most often used to characterize the phase composition, structure and physical properties of the obtained materials, as well as introduce methods that optimize the process of characterizing and manipulating the surface of the synthesized materials. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Bulk glasses and glass-ceramics for electronic and opto-electronic applications;
- Bulk glasses, ceramics and composites for biomedicine;
- Surface modification and methods for the characterization of materials.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
