Biomaterials science and technology have seen rapid growth over their approximately half-century of existence encompassing several disciplines, namely Materials Science and Engineering, Medicine, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, among others. There is also a powerful human side to Biomaterials that considers Ethics, Law and the Healthcare delivery system.
The International Conference on Biomedical Materials Innovation (ICBMI-2020) was an international conference organized in India in December 2020 that covered the grand challenges in the biomedical field including presentations by experts in all areas of biomaterials science and biomaterials innovations to solve global and health problems. The conference's theme was chosen based on extensive input from the medical, scientific and academic research sectors, to stimulate additional scientific, academic and private sector stakeholders and their collaboration in the development, dissemination, and applications of biomaterials for improved therapies. The conference's success and international character prompted the present call for papers for a Virtual Special Issue in Materials Letters.
The theme of the conference and the areas covered by this special issue are envisioned in:
the discovery and development of fundamental knowledge pertaining to new phenomena in the physical, chemical, biological, and biomedical sciences that occur at the nanoscale;
the elucidation of scientific and biomedical principles related to nanoscale structures, processes, mechanisms and applications;
the research aimed at discovery and synthesis of novel nanoscale and nanostructured materials and a comprehensive understanding of the properties of nanomaterials ranging across different properties and scales, including interface interactions; and
research directed at identifying and quantifying nanotechnology's broad implications for society, including health, social, economic, ethical, and legal implications.
Thus this special issue in Materials Letters emphasizes novel approaches for biomedical applications of materials, including synergism with nanoscience and nanotechnology. This issue seeks to publish high-quality papers reporting cutting-edge research in the most advanced biomaterials science and technology areas, including functional implants, nanoparticles and nanodevices, drug delivery, tissue engineering, additive manufacturing, and 3D bioprinting, porous biomaterials for regenerative medicine, bioceramics, and dental biomaterials.
