Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is already reported that additive manufacturing facilitates the development of devices with complex shapes/architectures, as well as tailored mechanical, functional and biological properties, for several biomedical applications.
In this context, additive manufacturing design and the material–design relationship play a crucial role in the development of advanced prostheses and 3D porous scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Accordingly, in the current Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers with the aim of providing a complete view of current progress in this realm.
With a focus on “Bio-Additive Manufacturing in Materials Science”, potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Additive manufacturing design;
- Three-dimensional/four-dimensional printing;
- Reverse engineering;
- Modeling and simulation;
- Artificial intelligence methods;
- Biomimetics and bioinspiration;
- Prosthesis and scaffold design for tissue engineering.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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 2700 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.
