Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The year 2025 marks the 15th anniversary of The Journal of Functional Biomaterials, a peer-reviewed, open access journal containing research relevant to the field of materials for biomedical use. JFB (ISSN: 2079-4983) is an open access journal devoted to all aspects of research on physicochemical characteristics and their importance in the interactions between biomaterials and living tissues as well as studies on the preparation, performance, and use of biomaterials in biomedical devices in physiological environments. JFB was accepted for coverage in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in 2021 and received its first IF of 4.901 in 2022. It obtained a 2023 IF of 5.0, ranking 27 out of 122 (Q1) titles in the “Engineering, Biomedical” category, and 18 out of 53 (Q2) titles in the “Materials Science, Biomaterials” category.
To celebrate this significant milestone, a Special Issue entitled “Journal of Functional Biomaterials: 15th Anniversary” has been launched. This Special Issue will include high-quality papers on topics within the broad scope of materials for biomedical use. It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute an original research paper or a comprehensive review article on a current, trending topic for peer review and possible publication in JFB.
Prof. Dr. Pankaj Vadgama
