Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interdisciplinary research in the field of front-line materials in biomedical applications continues to attract the attention of pharmacists, biologists, chemists, materials scientists, engineers, clinicians and other researchers worldwide. Some areas of investigation include the development of advanced materials, i.e., smart polymers, nanostructures, hybrid materials (e.g., inorganic/organic materials), microemulsions, hydrogels, liposomes, etc. The application of these materials in the biomedical field encompasses, but is not limited to, wound healing, imaging, targeted drug delivery, scaffolds, medical devices, tissue engineering, controlled release, cancer treatment and the specific delivery of drugs for cardiovascular disease, among others.
In this Special Issue we intend to present research outcomes reporting current findings on advanced materials for biomedical applications considering their performance, healing properties and the well-being of the patients who could benefit from these cutting-edge technologies under development. The published reports are expected to inspire future research on these most exciting materials. The editorial team for this Special Issue invites contributions about novel and innovative advanced materials with applications in medicine and pharmacy as well as innovative or modified analytical techniques associated with these materials, in the form of original research articles, reviews, research notes and short communications from the scientific community.

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.
