Scope
Biomaterials aims to provide a peer-reviewed platform for the publication of research in the field, including synthesis and characterization, fabrication technologies for novel structures and devices, fundamental aspects of biomaterial interactions with biological and biomedical systems, and more.
Scope
A biomaterial is a substance of biological or synthetic origin to be placed in contact with a living system to perform a specific function. The biomaterial could serve as an integral part of devices intended to sense a biological response, to replace an organ or tissue function, to deliver a drug in a controlled manner or to direct a specific physiological function. Biomaterial design and development requires a thoughtful application of chemical and physical sciences, while interfacing them with biological and medical sciences. Engineering philosophy (i.e., purposeful manipulation for a desired goal) becomes an integral part of this endeavor to achieve useful and reproducible outcomes. Biomaterials sit at the crossroads of applied and fundamental sciences, facilitating fast translation of fundamental discoveries into real world applications, whether in a clinical arena or industrial setting. The specialty section of Biomaterials aims to provide a peer-reviewed platform for the publication of research in the field of biomaterials including: (1) Biomaterial synthesis and characterization; (2) Fabrication technologies for novel structures and devices, (3) Tissue engineering for ex vivo fabrication of functional tissues, (4) Regenerative medicine for in vivo replacement of functional tissues and organs; (5) Nano-particulate systems for delivery of therapeutic agents and vaccines; (6) Novel approaches to biomedical imaging; (7) Biosensors and diagnostics; (8) Medical devices; (9) Biocompatibility and toxicology studies as well as (10) Fundamental aspects of biomaterial interactions with biological and biomedical systems.Indexed in: Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), CLOCKSS, CrossRef, DOAJ, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)
