Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the application of selective laser sintering (SLS) in biomaterials. SLS manufacturing is a technique that produces physical models through a selective solidification of a variety of fine powders. SLS technology is currently receiving a great amount of attention in the clinical field. The applications of SLS in tissue engineering, and at large in the biomedical field, will be reviewed and discussed in this Special Issue. The scope is to: (1) summarize the efforts of manufacturing, material design, custom-made prostheses, and scaffold design; (2) discuss the capabilities and limitations of SLS in the biomedical field; (3) propose potential strategies to improve the field of application of biomaterials in SLS processes.

The aim of the Special Issue on the application of selective laser sintering (SLS) in biomaterials is to present the latest trends in the application of SLS techniques to healthcare-related areas of research.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Prof. Dr. Alida Mazzoli
Guest 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.
