Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design and development of metal-based biomaterials is a critical area of research in the fields of materials science and biomedical engineering. Metallic biomaterials are used in a wide range of medical applications, including orthopedic implants, dental implants, and cardiovascular devices. Researchers in this field focus on creating biomaterials that are biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, and possess mechanical properties similar to those of human tissues. The development of metallic biomaterials involves the design of new alloys, surface modifications to enhance biocompatibility, and testing for durability and performance in biological environments. By advancing the design and development of metal-based biomaterials, researchers aim to improve the effectiveness and longevity of medical implants, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for patients.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
