Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are seeking contributions to this Special Issue. Coatings play a prominent role in biomedical materials, enabling their use in challenging in vivo environments where these materials would not otherwise survive. Such coatings are used on implants, orthodontic wires, restorative materials, and instruments for dentistry, as well as on orthopedic implants and on other materials for a wide range of medical applications. Traditional materials science research on the composition—structure—property aspects of these coatings must be supplemented by an investigation of their performance under the harsh conditions of clinical environments, as well as by examination of retrieved materials after in vivo service. Many coatings on biomedical materials have unique features such as biologically active species and a nanostructure, which promote interactions with adjacent cells and tissue fluids. It is highly important that these coatings block the release of ions or other problematic species from the underlying substrate material.
The goals of this Special Issue are to examine the current status of special coatings on all types (metallic, ceramic, and polymeric) of biomedical materials, to provide information about advances in recent years after the previous Special Issue on this subject in 2012–2013, and to suggest directions where future research in this exciting area is needed.
The previous Special Issue on this subject in 2012–2013 was the Special Issue "Advances in Dental Biomaterials and Coatings"

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. Coatings 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.
