Biomaterials

A section of Materials (ISSN 1996-1944).

Section Information

This Section of Materials covers the broad field of biomaterials, understood as materials for applications in contact with the human body in the biomedical field, including materials in medicine, medical devices, biosensors, implants, scaffolds for tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, as well as antibacterial and dental materials. All material classes are considered, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and their composites, both synthetic (man-made) materials and those of natural origin, e.g., materials derived from the animal and vegetable kingdoms. The section covers all aspects of the biomaterials field with a highly interdisciplinary scope, from the synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing to the biomedical applications of biomaterials. Topics of interest for this section include (but are not limited to) the following: biointerfaces and colloid science, biomimetic and bioinspired materials, nanostructured biomaterials and nanoparticles, self-healing and stimuli-responsive materials, mechanical behavior and biomechanics, biomedical coatings and antibacterial surfaces, advanced antimicrobial strategies, materials for implants and prosthetic devices, scaffolds for tissue engineering, materials for drug delivery carriers, bioelectronics and nanotechnology-based biosensors, imaging and diagnostic biomaterials, tissue/biomaterial interfaces, bioactive and cell instructive materials, studies on clinical applications of biomaterials, and advanced manufacturing and biofabrication.

Papers covering recent scientific progress in the field of biomedical materials, as well as review papers of relevance in the field and articles addressing new challenges in this highly interdisciplinary field, are welcome.

Of special interest are papers that present the interaction of biomaterials and the biological environment, e.g., cell biology (in vitro) studies on biomaterials, microbiology interactions with materials (e.g., antibacterial materials), as well as in vivo studies that bring the field closer to translation to clinical applications. Papers can present experimental or theoretical studies and should focus both the “bio” and “material” components of biomaterials. All submitted papers are subject to a rigorous peer-review process, and decisions regarding publication are always based on the recommendations of independent referees.
