Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in biomaterial have attracted growing attention. This includes but is not limited to smart biomaterials that can sense and respond to environmental changes, nanobiomaterials that adopt nanotechnology for biomedical applications, and biodegradable materials with a focus on tunable degradability in biological conditions. The development of such biomaterials requires innovative material chemistry, new stimuli mechanisms, advanced engineering technologies, and a dynamic biointerface design.
Given the latest advances in the field, we invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Recent Advances and Trends in Smart Biomaterials, Nanobiomaterials, and Biodegradable Materials”.
Full research papers, comprehensive reviews, and communications are welcomed on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Natural and synthetic biomaterial, from the laboratory preparation, self-assembly behavior to their applications;
- Smart biomaterial of new stimuli-response mechanisms, intriguing properties, and promising applications in biomedical engineering, catalysis, energy storage, and others;
- Nanobiomaterial with a focus on their mechanics, chemistries, surface, and geometries.
- Manuscripts on biodegradable materials synthesis and application in drug delivery, tissue engineering, biointegrated electronics, and the construction industry are also encouraged.
We look forward to your contributions.

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.
