Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As all-ceramic materials gain popularity in today’s clinical usage, there are many interesting and innovative discoveries emerging. Zirconia, one of the all-ceramic materials, possesses great mechanical and esthetic properties. With a low surface free energy, zirconia is known as a bio-inert material. Due to its inherited properties, zirconia has been widely used in dentistry, such as for fixed prosthetics, implants and abutments, and in dental filling materials. The material itself has evolved into different subtypes, such as high-translucency zirconia. Meanwhile, novel surface modification methods have been developed to enhance the performance of zirconia in different clinical scenarios. These studies are interesting and promising as the development of the material will eventually be beneficial to clinicians and patients. This Special Issue aims to publish the relative research of zirconia on the broad scope. Studies on the surface properties of zirconia, the novel processing strategies of zirconium and the surface modification of zirconia are welcome. High-quality original research articles and systematic reviews related to the themes are encouraged to be submitted for peer-review process. Through this Special Issue, we hope to present the current research on zirconia, and foster further development of all-ceramic material in the future.

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. 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.

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.
