Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Active biomedical materials are designed to interact with biological systems for therapeutic purposes. These materials have various applications, such as in tissue regeneration and repair, implant fixtures, controlled drug delivery, and antimicrobial agents. Synthetic or natural active biomedical materials, such as metals and their alloys, ceramics, composites, and polymers, are used for these purposes. The synthesis and fabrication of active biomedical materials require the use of different methods and technologies.
This Special Issue, "Active Biomedical Materials and Their Applications, 2nd Edition" will continue our focus on the importance of biomedical materials in dentistry and medicine. Its scope covers, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Synthesis and characterization of biomedical materials;
- Biomedical materials in tissue regeneration and repair;
- Biomedical materials with antimicrobial properties;
- Biocompatibility assessments in biomedical materials;
- Biomedical materials in dental and medical applications.
We aim to publish articles on current and new active biomedical materials used in healthcare applications. It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute original research articles, communications, or review articles for consideration for the 2nd Edition of this Special Issue.
Dr. Christie Ying Kei Lung
Guest Editor
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.
