Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanobiocomposites as a new class of materials formed by a combination of natural and inorganic materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, and graphene) at the nanoscale dimension are foreseen to change tissue engineering and bone implant applications due to their improved corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity. The branches where nanotechnology has become popular, apart from implantology, are tooth regeneration, periodontal therapy, soft and hard tissue reconstruction, bone repair, plaque control, caries diagnostics, and caries treatments. Improvement of tissue integration of nanocomposite implants can be achieved by modification of the surface roughness at the nanoscale level for increasing protein adsorption and cell adhesion, by biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings for enhancing osteoconduction, and by the addition of biological drugs for accelerating the bone healing process in the peri-implant area.
The scope of this Special Issue is to illustrate the most recent research on the production, characterization, properties, and broad applications of nanobiocomposites, as well as to cover the current challenges and opportunities in their medical acceptance. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: nanotechnology, metallic, ceramic and polymeric nanobiocomposites, preparation, surface modification, structure, corrosion, electrochemical and mechanical properties, biocompatibility and bioactivity, biomedical applications, and medical implants.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
