Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of an efficient regenerative approach for the restoration of diseased, traumatized, or damaged parts of the natural bone to their initial anatomical, physiological, and functional state has constituted, for at least the last decade, huge potential in the biomedical field. In the quest of developing innovative and modern biomaterials for mature bone regeneration applications, additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques are desired to address compelling and stringent issues related to the final customization of bone-like products. The modification and improvement of commonly used materials or raw resources for 3D printers leads to a continuous and necessary rush for new developments and possibilities in the area of rapid fabrication of complex products with augmented features.
Through this Special Issue, distinguished researchers are emboldened to publish and promote original and innovative scientific studies carried out on dedicated biomaterials with printable features for bone regeneration using the latest technological advancements in the 3D printing field.
It is my pleasure to invite all of you to submit manuscripts for inclusion in the Special Issue entitled “Three-Dimensional-Printable Biomaterials for Bone Regeneration”. Research articles and review papers are welcomed.
Dr. Aura-Catalina Mocanu
Guest Editor
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.
