Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 21st century has brought tremendous interest in bioceramics. They possess several properties which make them suitable for biomedical applications, the most important being tissue bonding bioactivity.
The bioactivity—the property of materials to bond with tissues in vivo—of calcium phosphate-based materials has been intensely researched in the last decade for calcium phosphate bioceramics, as well as calcium phosphate-containing bioglasses. These types of materials can easily bond with hard tissues and, under certain conditions, even with soft tissues. Therefore, their use in or as different types of scaffolds utilized for tissue engineering has been growing.
In this Special Issue, we aim to collect high-quality research on the following topics related to bioceramics and bioglasses:
- Synthesis and preparation;
- High-resolution characterization;
- In vitro and in vivo testing;
- Biomedical applications;
- Tissue engineering.
It is our pleasure to invite all of you to submit your research to this Special Issue. Research articles, short communications and review papers are welcome!

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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 2700 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.
