Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Designing a biodegradable implant implies good mechanical properties in correlation with the degradation rate and their biocompatibility in the host biological system. The research and development of alloys for medical applications with high biocompatibility and high strength alloys with good performance are a source of constant concern for researchers as, while many biomaterials have been studied and introduced, clinical applications in medicine are very rare. This is caused by the fact that effects expressed in vitro cannot be maintained in harsh environments in vivo. The next generation of biodegradable materials will contain multiple functions, with a high-end design that will require in-depth knowledge of the interaction between host tissues and bones, causing minimal adverse reactions.
This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics: characterization of different types of Mg based alloys, from obtaining to in vivo analysis highlighting their structure, properties, and functions. In this Special Issue of Materials, we will gather the top research results from researchers in various fields related to obtaining, processing, and utilizing biomaterials from different chemical elements. Topics of interest include Mg-based biodegradable alloys, modern processing technologies, in vitro and in vivo biological responses, and characterization techniques. For this purpose, original research articles, review articles, and significant preliminary communications are invited, with particular interest in articles describing current research trends and future perspectives in biomaterials characterization used in medical applications.
This Special Issue on “Research and Development in Magnesium Alloys for Industrial and Biomedical Applications” aims to publish some of the best research and reviews performed in the area of metallic biomaterials applications and will cover several topics, such as:
- Mg-based metallic biomaterials;
- Osseointegration;
- Metal/tissue interfaces;
- Biomechanical design and characterization;
- Corrosion analysis of Mg-based alloys;
- Additive manufacturing of Mg alloys;
- Design of metallic implants and prosthesis;
- Mg-based alloys for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine;
- Mechanical coating/alloying/treatment of the biodegradable metallic alloys;
- Mg alloys used in industrial applications.

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.
