Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Multidisciplinary convergence research between biology, medicine, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomaterials, biofabrication, nanotechnology, and bioelectronics is growing to tackle scientific challenges for improving human healthcare and quality of life. For the last decades, biomaterials have been widely incorporated with various biofabrication approaches to develop advanced biomedical devices, tissue engineering implants, microphysiological systems (also called organoids and organ-on-a-chip).

In addition, a convergence between electronics and biotechnology has earned enormous attention via the development of nano/biomaterials and advanced fabrication techniques. According to this trend, many studies are in progress for adapting the various electronic technologies to biological systems.

In this Special Issue, ‘Biomaterials and Biofabrication 2021’, with our previous successful special issue of ‘Biomaterials and Biofabrication’, we have started to invite new submissions exploring the up-to-date findings and research related to biofabrication (e.g., nano- and micro-fabrication and 3D bioprinting), biomaterials (e.g., decellularized extracellular matrix, conductive hydrogels, and graphene) and electronic technologies for bio/healthcare application (e.g., implantable biosensors, drug delivery systems, organoids, organ-on-a-chips, bioelectronics and wearable electronics). Communications and reviews are also welcomed.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The production of ultrafine fibers of proteins and polysaccharides by needleless electrospinning can be performed prior to a thermal treatment to form glycoconjugates via the first stage of the Maillard reaction. The aim was to produce potato protein–maltodextrin conjugates with a varying protein content of 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 g/mL by needleless electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment (0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h at 65 °C and 75% relative humidity). The concentrations of the maltodextrins, with a dextrose equivalent of 2 and 21, were kept constant at 0.8 and 0.1 g/mL. The highest fiber production rate was achieved with a protein content of 0.1 g/mL (5.8 ± 0.4 g/h). With increasing protein content, the production rate decreased to 2.8 ± 0.5 g/h. The fibers obtained from the spinning solution containing 0.2 g/mL protein showed the largest average diameter (4.0 ± 1.5 µm) and the broadest fiber diameter distribution. The protein content of the fibers was close to that of the corresponding spinning solution. The browning index after 48 h of heating increased for all samples (9.7–14.7) compared to the unheated samples (1.1–3.3). The results indicate that the protein content has an impact on the yield, the fiber diameter, and the morphology of the fibers. Full article
