Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research in materials designed for biomedical applications, characterisation of biological materials and biomechanics has continued to make great progress. New materials, functionalities and synthesis methods have increased the breadth of materials and applications in both laboratory and medical practice. Novel characterisation tools and imaging methods have also been developed. This Special Issue aims to inspire further research in these areas by bringing together papers that cover complementary aspects of the development of biomaterials, biomechanics and testing techniques.
The covered biomaterials themes include phantom materials, biomolecules, supramolecular complexes, inorganic/organic nanoparticles, tissue and organ regeneration, organs on a chip, scaffolds, assembly and patterning, biointerfaces, surface functionalization processes and digital twins. The techniques and strategies to develop these materials and the interaction of these materials with living systems are included. Papers on optical, electromagnetic and photonic imaging techniques; chemical, electrical, mechanical and morphological property measurement in vivo, in vitro, and in silico at the nanoscale are also solicited. Studies in physiological research, human motion analysis, prosthetics, orthotics and biomechanical techniques are also requested.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
