Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A biomaterial is a system that has been engineered to take a form able to direct the course of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures by controlling its interactions with the living body. In this wide field of research, nanostructured biomaterials able to conjugate the chemico-physical properties typical of nano-objects with biocompatibility are appealing candidates to design and realize innovative materials for applications in biomedicine. Since the interactions arising at the interface between a biomaterial and the living body are of primary importance for the biomaterial applicability, the study of the chemical and molecular structure of the material surface is of outmost importance for developing innovative and functional biomaterials.
In this context, the aim of this Special Issue is to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers dealing with the most important issues regarding the design, production, and structural investigation of innovative biomaterials and covering the wide range of physical, biological, and chemical sciences that underpin the design of nanostructured biomaterials and the investigation of their surfaces as well as of the interactions occurring at the biomaterial–host interface.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
