The main responsibilities of the Section Editorial Board Members are as follows:
- Providing scientific supervision for the Section;
- Inviting distinguished scientists to join the Editorial Board;
- Suggesting hot topics for Special Issues;
- Making decisions about the suitability of a paper to enter the peer review process and about its acceptance at the end of the process;
- Promoting this Section, recommending international conference cooperation, and assisting this Section in holding physical/electronic conferences;
- Providing feedback and suggesting improvements for the journal.
This Section of Metals covers the broad field of biomaterials, focusing on recent biomedical materials, to provide a summary of the latest results in the development and production of modern biomedical materials used in contemporary medicine and dentistry. Biomedical alloys are designed to take a form that can direct, through interactions with living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. Metals are currently used for medical devices, and over 70% of medical implants consist of metals, of which over 90% are orthopedic implants. Despite many metallic medical devices being in use today, they are predominantly made up of only a few metals. In this sense, in recent decades, metallic alloys have been used in the biomedical field due to their low elastic modulus, good fatigue strength and formability, and corrosion resistance. In this Section of Metals, we intend to gather the main research results from various areas related to the development, processing, and use of metallic alloys for biomedical applications. Topics of interest comprise the design and processing of biomedical alloys, titanium-based alloys, zirconium-based alloys, biodegradable alloys, porous alloys, mechanical properties of biomedical alloys, corrosion resistance of biomedical alloys, the biocompatibility of biomedical alloys, and characterization techniques.
