Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, carbon-based materials have gained a great amount of attention in research and industry. The great variability of nanostructures composed of carbon allotropic forms creates new possibilities for applications in different fields of biomedicine. The research includes the development of drug delivery platforms for cancer therapies, innovative scaffolds for cell cultures and tissue engineering, antibacterial coatings, and many more. Along with the increasing numbers of potential applications, new compositions, and synthesis methods, the number of safety issues is growing as well, and further studies are necessary to establish the relationship between carbon-based materials and biological systems. To study the influence of these factors, continuous research efforts are needed to solve the many critical issues that remain, such as biocompatibility or long-term health effects.
The forthcoming Special Issue on “Carbon-Based Materials and Nanotechnology for Biomedicine and Tissue Engineering” aims to collect and publish original research manuscripts that either add knowledge to our current understanding of the characterization of properties of carbon-based nanostructures, materials, and their nanocomposites or report new applications of these very promising materials, especially concerning biomedical applications and safety issues. Critical reviews are also welcome.
It is my pleasure to invite you to provide a valuable contribution to this Special Issue.
Dr. Barbara Strojny-CieslakGuest Editor
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.
