Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Topical Collection “Feature Papers in Antibacterial Biomaterials” will comprise important contributions by scholars in the field of biomaterials and the Editorial Board members of the Journal of Functional Biomaterials. Their broad expertise will result in a comprehensive array of the latest findings in this field, and thus we encourage submissions of high-quality research papers or review articles.
Antibacterial biomaterials play a pivotal role in addressing the persistent challenge of bacterial infections associated with medical devices, implants, and wound care. This collection showcases innovative strategies and novel materials designed to prevent, manage, and treat bacterial infections effectively. Suitable topics for this special edition include the synthesis and application of conventional or novel biomaterials (including peptides, proteins, biopolymers, nanoparticles, etc.) with antimicrobial activities. This Special Issue aims to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers and practitioners interested in biomaterials and antibacterial strategies. We invite researchers, clinicians, and industry experts to explore this collection and contribute to the ongoing dialogue aimed at harnessing biomaterial innovation for effective antibacterial solutions.
Prof. Dr. Masakazu Kawashita
Collection 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 collection 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.
