Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are glad to announce that Section 'Biobased and Biodegradable Metals' of Metals has opened a Special Issue entitled "Feature Papers in Biobased and Biodegradable Metals". The Special Issue collects papers from members of the editorial board and other well-respected colleagues. We also welcome contributions recommended by Editorial Board Members.
The aim of this Special Issue is to publish a set of papers with the best original articles, including in-depth reviews of state-of-the-art, original and up-to-date contributions involving biobased/biodegradable materials and biomedical materials. We hope that these papers will be widely read and have a great influence on the field. All papers in this Special Issue will be compiled into a printed book after the deadline and will be accurately promoted.
Specific research areas of interest for this Special Issue may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Biobased metals;
- Biobased metallic composites;
- Biodegradable metals;
- Biodegradable metallic composites;
- Biomedical materials (metals, metallic composites);
- Coatings on biobased materials (metals, metallic composites);
- Coatings on biodegradable materials (metals, metallic composites).
