Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions to a Special Issue on “Smart Engineering and Materials for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications”. The Special Issue aims to acknowledge the innovative nature of smart engineering and relevant broad material technologies to delineate recent and progressive developments in the field. Smart engineering technologies and materials are key to providing a continuous transformation in how eco-friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective methodologies are developed for researchers, engineers, scientists, and practitioners in academia and industry facing the use of such technologies. This issue includes original research articles from a broad scope comprising new technologies, processes, sensors, materials, devices, characterization, and related applications in various scales in the field of biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ming-Wei Chang
