Advanced Biomaterials: Processing and Applications

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The progress of biomaterial science and engineering has allowed the creation of increasingly advanced and innovative interfaces with biological systems capable of performing multiple functions aimed at supporting the growth of new tissue during healing/regeneration processes. To achieve this aim, an accurate design study of the material properties is required to guarantee a controlled structure and the dynamic functionality capable of adapting/integrating with the biological complexity of tissues and organs. In this context, the transition from inert to bioactive materials has been consolidated, leading to the development of new strategies in chemistry and nanotechnologies capable of responding to the growing needs in terms of promotion and control of biological phenomena in vitro and in vivo. In this perspective, this topic issue aims to review recent achievements in the field of hard and soft biomaterials with a specific emphasis on micro and nanotechnology advances which have showed the potential of controlling morphology and static/dynamic functionalities at micro/sub micrometer scale, including tailoring of biomechanical/sensing properties for the creation of bio-complex materials that might be used ad hoc in challenging applications of biomedicine and biotechnology. Research on the potential impact of recent technological developments, including safety laws and toxicology for large scale applications, will also be considered.
