Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, there has been a considerable increase in research related to the development of biomaterials. These studies are expected to improve the performance of medical devices used in various medical fields, such as orthopedic, dentistry, neurology, cardiology, etc.
However, further studies on the structure and mechanical properties of biomedical alloys are required to improve the mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility of implants. Along with acceptable strength, these alloys must combine properties that determine their biomedical, chemical, and mechanical compatibility with a living organism. Research in this area may lead to the development of new composites and alloys for the reconstructive surgery of soft and bone tissue.
Regarding biomedical metal alloys, special attention has been paid to the development of materials that are free of cytotoxic elements, such as Al, V, Cr, Co, and Ni, and still present adequate mechanical properties to mimic the behavior of biomechanical tissue and achieve good interaction with the host tissue.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. All approaches will be considered, including theoretical, numerical, and experimental contributions.

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. Metals 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 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.
