Functional Biomimetic Materials and Devices for Biomedical Applications: 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue collection of the journal Biomimetics, entitled “Functional Biomimetic Materials and Devices for Biomedical Applications”, for which we are collecting research articles, review articles, and short communications.

Recently, functional biomimetic materials and devices have attracted a lot of interest because they possess remarkable properties, such as a super-hydrophobic or super-hydrophilic ability, anti-fouling ability, anti-bacterial adhesion ability, bactericidal ability, and good cell affinity. Thus, researchers have started to explore the potential applications of these promising functional biomimetic materials and devices in biomedical fields, including orthopedics, dentistry, antibacterial biomaterials, anticancer biomaterials, and so on.

This Special Issue aims to showcase contributions from researchers and thinkers in all realms of functional biomimetic materials and devices and welcomes theoretical, experimental, and review contributions from biomimeticians, physicists, biologists, material scientists, mathematicians, doctors, and engineers alike who are engaged and interested in this fast-growing field. All papers will be published in an open-access format following a peer review.

Dr. Xiang Ge
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
