Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of bioceramics and their composites has advanced significantly to restore, substitute, or regenerate not only skeletal hard but also soft tissues. These innovative materials have been studied to be applied for orthopaedic implants, bone substitutes, bone cements, dental prostheses, drug delivery carriers, and even for cancer treatments. In addition, the development and use of nanostructured materials, biomimetic materials, and inorganic–organic structures resulted in considerable scientific interest in the bioceramics field. Thus, this Special Issue focuses on topics covering the processing of novel bioceramics, and the synthesis of bio-hybrids and bioactive or bioresorbable composites in addition to the study of their biodegradability and biocompatibility. Contributions on innovative approaches such as the additive manufacturing of bioceramics and biocomposites, layer deposition techniques, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems are also welcome.

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.
