Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, “Polymeric Biocomposites for Biomedical Applications”, will address advances in polymeric biocomposites, processing, characterization, development, and application in medicine. Biocomposites are natural fiber-reinforced biopolymers. These materials as an alternative to conventional materials that may be nonrenewable, recalcitrant, or manufactured by pollution-emitting processes. Biocomposites are playing a crucial role in the field of biomaterials and their importance in healthcare sector applications.

Original papers are solicited on all types of biocomposites. Of particular interest are recent developments in advanced polymer biocomposites, processes, physicochemical and biological characterization, and applications in soft and hard tissues, that is, in tissue engineering.

Welcome are articles and reviews dealing with these materials for different medical applications: bone regeneration dental materials, cardiac tissue, nanocomposites for drug delivery systems.

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.
