Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue by showcasing your achievements in material modifications for biomedical applications.
Despite the development of technology, new and better solutions that could be used in medicine are still being sought. Various types of materials, including polymers, carbon-based materials, and nanoparticles, are attracting interest for their use in medical diagnostics and therapy.
In this Special Issue, we focus on new ideas and perspectives for material modification methods, such as plasma treatment, exposure to SXR/EUV/UV radiation, laser processing, chemical modification, surface coating, and grafting with nanoparticles. Functionalization with various molecules and drugs in order to improve the effectiveness of disease detection and treatment is also within the scope of this issue.
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute an original research paper, a short communication, or a review to 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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
