Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue dedicated to Wearable Materials in Biomedical Application, focusing on cutting-edge developments in wearable technologies that are transforming healthcare. These innovations are empowering personalized health monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment in ways we could not have imagined just a few years ago.
This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and healthcare professionals to share their latest findings on materials that are being integrated into wearable devices for medical use. We are particularly interested in contributions that show how these materials are improving patient care, enhancing rehabilitation, managing diseases, and enabling continuous health monitoring in real-world settings.
We welcome submissions on the following topics:
- Development of flexible, biocompatible, and stretchable materials;
- Wearable sensors for tracking physiological data (e.g., heart rate, glucose levels);
- Smart textiles and electronic skin for healthcare;
- Innovative energy solutions (harvesting and storage) for wearables;
- Antimicrobial, self-healing, or adaptive materials in medical applications;
- Ethical and regulatory challenges of integrating wearable tech into healthcare.
Whether you are working in biomedical engineering, materials science, nanotechnology, or healthcare, we invite you to share your work and contribute to advancing this field. Your research can help shape the future of wearable devices in medicine, from improving the quality of life for patients to driving innovations in health management.

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.
