Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging research interests that combine information and expertise from materials science, bioengineering, chemistry, and biomedical sciences have resulted in the rapid expansion of the interdisciplinary field of soft materials. Particularly, smart soft materials, soft robotics, and innovative designing and microfabrication processes may present new opportunities and solutions for tissue engineering, biosensing, and biomaterials.
The objective of this Special Issue is to gather the latest achievements from the field of soft materials, on all aspects related to the recent advances in designing, manufacturing, and applications.
We kindly invite you to submit your research related to the subject of this issue.

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. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
