Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We warmly invite you to submit your recent work in the field of Biomaterials to the Special Issue entitled “Nanomaterials or Polymer-Based Biomaterials: Chemical Synthesis and Applications”.
At present, nanomaterials or polymer-based biomaterials play important roles in the development of medicines, and in other areas. They are either synthesized or available naturally, and have a variety of applications, such as in tissue healing and regeneration, biosensors, and drug delivery systems. Nanomaterials or polymer based-biomaterials can be constructed according to requirements, and are therefore of huge demand in the medical industry. Additionally, they have a selective action, and can be used in the healing of wounds, bone growth, skin growth, blood vessel formation, etc. If needed, biomaterials can also dissolve over time, being useful, for example, in dressings for burn victims.
Furthermore, the demand for carbon-based nanomaterials continues to increase. In the last decade, researchers have focused on graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and are now moving on to graphynes. These are highly conductive materials, and are being explored for use in the areas of biomedical sciences, water remediation, and many more.
Taking into consideration the importance of biomaterials, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect state-of-the-art research papers and reviews on the different synthesis methods of biomaterials. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- synthesis of biomaterials in medicine;
- synthesis of GO, rGO, and graphynes
- bioresponsive materials;
- biomaterials for drug delivery;
- hybrid biomaterials;
- regenerative biomaterials;
- temperature response biomaterials;
- role of graphynes in sensors, medical fields, and material sciences;
- graphynes as antibacterial, antiviral, and self-cleanser materials.
We look forward to your submissions and cooperation.

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. Molecules 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 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
