Surface Treatment of Biomedical Polymer Scaffolds

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical materials have gradually become a necessary solution for the treatment of many clinical diseases. These biomaterials can promote the relevant functions of tissues or organs after implantation. It is worth noting that the implants usually contact with cells, blood and tissues in vivo. In order to enhance the biocompatibility of biomaterials and achieve better biological function, it is very important to improve the structure, composition and properties of the bio-scaffolds’ surface. Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit your original research to this Coatings Special Issue entitled “Surface Treatment of Biomedical Polymer Scaffolds”. The goal of this Special Issue includes all aspects of research related to biomaterials, including theoretical and application-oriented papers, and reviews.

We encourage you to send manuscripts containing scientific findings within the broad field of biomedical materials. The topics of interest for this Special Issue, in particular, include (but are not restricted to):

Tissue engineering scaffolds;

• Biomedical polymer materials;
• Surface modification;
• Surface chemical grafting;
• Biomimetic construction;
• Gradient structure biomaterials;
• Surface antibacterial materials;
• Surface anticoagulant materials;
• Surface functionalization;
• Surface biocompatibility.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
