Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The biomaterials based on hydroxyapatite composite are currently in the attention of researchers due to their unique properties that make them suitable for various applications in the biomedical field. Areas such as tissue engineering, cancer, infection, drug delivery systems, and depollution are areas that could benefit fully from the progress of research on hydroxyapatite composite. The patient’s quality of life could be enhanced by using new hydroxyapatite composites as bone fillers, loading agent, antimicrobial agent, coating of implants, etc.
This Special Issue will focus on novel advances and applications of hydroxyapatite composites. The main objective is to highlight the recent progress in development, fabrication and characterization of hydroxyapatite composites with potential application in biomedical and environmental fields (infection treatment and prevention, implants, tissue engineering, drug delivery, coatings, cancer research, water and soil depollution and other relevant applications). Special attention will be paid in this Special Issue to the physico-chemical (including surface and colloidal properties) and biological properties (including antimicrobial ones) of new hydroxyapatite composites and their potential applications in the biomedical and environmental fields.
Research and long review papers containing new findings and perspectives on the field of hydroxyapatite composite (development, fabrication and characterization) and their recently applications are welcomed for this Special 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.
