Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study and modeling of implantable devices imply more complex analysis considerations than others referring to other types of conventional engineering systems. In fact, placing an implant in contact with living tissue through an interface introduces some unpredictability in its biomechanical and biological behavior. Although there have been significant scientific advances in the study of implantable systems, several problems continue to be recorded, especially those related to fixation, which is important in load transfer mechanisms because they precede their early failure. Thus, the design, materials and new emerging technologies that can be applied in the development of implantable biosystems must be modeled and studied, aiming for better and more adequate surgical procedures. There is potential in the development of new concepts, including artificial intelligence, which will allow, in the near future, to have intelligent implantable systems.
As guest editors, we propose that you submit your research concerning the analysis of biomaterials and numerical and experimental modeling of implantable biomedical systems.

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.
