Advances in Biomedical Alloys and Surface Modification
This special issue belongs to the section "Synthesis of Biomaterials via Advanced Technologies".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are currently organizing a Special Issue of the Journal of Functional Biomaterials, entitled “Advances in Biomedical Alloys and Surface Modification”.
The challenge for modern science is to produce new metallic biomaterials adapted to specific medical applications while at the same time meeting stringent biocompatibility standards. In addition to improving mechanical properties, modern biomedical alloys are also being developed to minimize the body's immune reactions. An important aspect of designing advanced biomedical alloys that meet the specific needs and requirements of medical applications is the modification of their surfaces. The creation of functional coatings on the surface of alloys significantly improves their effectiveness and biocompatibility in the context of regenerative medicine. Thanks to advanced technologies and research on surface engineering, it is possible to develop increasingly effective and advanced regenerative therapies.
In today's world, the search for new biomaterials is necessary to apply personalized regenerative medicine, improve the quality of life of patients, and accelerate convalescence processes. Therefore, the aim of the Special Issue is to present the results of research on the production and characterization of advanced biomedical alloys and their surface modification.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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 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.
