Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current development of technologies requires a constant analysis of emerging materials. In this sense, the surfaces of implants and biomedical devices are constantly being improved by being subjected to physical, biochemical, and/or chemical treatments. The use of additive manufacturing has increased considerably in the last few years, as has the use of innovative devices.
This Special Issue is open to all medical specializations that can contribute information about advanced surface analyses for implants and biomedical devices, the characterization of ceramic devices, new metal alloys to be used as implant materials, innovations in microscopy software, the interpretation of soft tissue interactions with composites, bioceramics, polymers, and metal alloys.
The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for research on the following concepts:
- Surface treatments and tissue interactions.
- Surface functionalization of biomedical devices.
- Surfaces and materials for implants.
- Recent insights into biomedical devices.
- Surface characterization of dental materials.
In this Special Issue of Coatings, high-quality research from all biomedical fields that includes and improves the knowledge about surface analyses for implants and biomedical devices will be published.

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. Coatings 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 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.
