Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Self-assembled nanostructured materials with applications in medicine have been the focus of the scientific community due to the possibility to develop complex and functional systems using easy and versatile methods of fabrication. The ability of self-assembled molecular systems to create patterned and organized surfaces, at nano- or molecular scale, allows the possibility to obtain smart and functional materials with multiple properties considering that a biomedical device needs to be biocompatible, biodegadable if possible, and in some cases small or with nanodimensions.
This Special Issue intends to give an overview of the latest developments in biomedical devices based on self-assembled molecular structures with particular emphasis on smart and functional nanostructured films with applications in biomedical devices, including nanomaterials, nanostructured drug delivery systems, biocompatible self-assembled monolayers, two-dimensional and layered materials, nanocoatings, nanoparticles, and other related subjects.

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.
