Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, the academic and industrial research efforts to improve the lifespan of bone implant materials are growing more and more due to an increasing worldwide clinical demand in skeletal repair, particularly for orthopaedic and dental surgeries. To reach this objective, many research labs focus their works on improving the osseointegration of bone implants by modifying the surface of prosthetic alloys with bioactive coatings made of calcium phosphate or bioglass. These coatings support the bone cells’ growth at the surface of the implant, promoting the formation of an intimate link with the surrounding bone tissues.
Several methods can be used to synthesize bioactive coatings on prosthetic alloys such as plasma spraying, magnetron sputtering, pulsed laser-deposition, electrophoretic deposition or electrodeposition. Particularly, the low-temperature processes can be used to add organic components (polymers, proteins, drugs, etc.) inside the prosthetic coatings in order to enhance the biological and mechanical properties of the biomaterials.
In that framework, this Special Issue aims at presenting the latest developments in this field.
In particular, the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Calcium phosphate coatings for bone implant applications;
- Bioglass coatings for bone implant applications;
- Functionalization of biomaterials;
- Bone implants with enhanced biological properties;
- Bone implants with enhanced mechanical properties.

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.
