Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Globally, biomaterials play an integral role in medicine nowadays, in different applications and scopes, for restoring function and facilitating healing for people after injury or disease. The first historical use of biomaterials dates to antiquity, but this field has grown significantly in the past decade due to discoveries in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and more. The modern field of biomaterials combines medicine, biology, physics, and chemistry, and more recent influences from tissue engineering and materials science with the ultimate goal of promoting a new generation of multifunctional implants with long-term performance.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on "Application, Processing and Testing of Modern Biomaterials". The scope of this Special Issue includes application, processing and testing of modern biomaterials (metals, bioglasses, composites, ceramics, polymers) covering the most recent advances in implantable biocompatible alloys with relevant practical applications.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the latest experimental and theoretical achievements in the field, through a combination of original research papers as well as comprehensive reviews addressing the relevant state-of-the-art topics in the area of medical applications, from leading research groups around the world, covering the most recent advances in modern biomaterials. Scientific and technological progress has been achieved on this topic by universities and research institutes worldwide. Furthermore, the field of biomaterials is very well known by scientists, and can be improved in many ways by improving the quality of human life.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

  • Modern biomaterials that can be reengineered into molded or machined parts, coatings, fibers, films, foams, and fabrics for use in biomedical products and devices;
  • Attainment of all types of biomaterials used for medical applications: metallic, ceramics, polymers, composites;
  • Mechanical coating/alloying/treatment of the metallic and non-metallic materials;
  • Thermo/chemical treatment of the metallic and non-metallic materials;

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.

Abstract
Nowadays, magnesium (Mg) composites are gaining much attention in biomedical device applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. This research is to study the microstructure, mechanical, corrosive and antibacterial properties of Mg−2.5Zn−0.5Zr/xCNT (x = 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9) composites made with mechanical [...] Read more.
Nowadays, magnesium (Mg) composites are gaining much attention in biomedical device applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. This research is to study the microstructure, mechanical, corrosive and antibacterial properties of Mg−2.5Zn−0.5Zr/xCNT (x = 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9) composites made with mechanical alloying and semi-powder metallurgy (SPM) processes, accompanied by SPS. Based on the microstructural characteristics, CNTs were almost uniformly distributed in the Mg matrix. The results displayed that the hardness and ultimate compressive strength (UCS) of the composites were meaningfully increased compared to a Mg matrix. Moreover, the degradation rate of Mg composites was almost halved in the presence of small amounts of CNTs in the Kokubo simulated body fluid (SBF). Due to the slowed degradation process, the Mg−2.5Zn−0.5Zr/0.6CNT biocomposites exhibited excellent cellular compatibility. Evaluation of antibacterial activity displayed that adding CNTs to the Mg matrix could significantly prevent the growing of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In general, the research results showed that CNTs are an efficient reinforcement for Mg−2.5Zn−0.5Zr/CNTs biocomposites, which leads to improved mechanical, degradation and antibacterial performances.
