Advances in Biomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Biomaterials are materials that are put into the body for medical purposes, such as artificial joints, dentures, artificial blood vessels, artificial skin, and artificial organs. Research on biomaterials is conducted in biomedical engineering and biomaterials. Research on materials that can be used by putting them in the body and have the desired function—for example, that can be used as joints and blood vessels, which is the basis of this—is carried out by material type such as polymer/fiber material. It is conducted in research fields that focus on the functions of materials, such as structural/functional materials, mechanical materials/strength of materials, and composite materials/surface interface engineering. In this Special Issue, we would like to introduce biomaterials that are expected to be useful in future medical treatment.
