The aim of Bio-Medical Materials and Engineering is to promote the welfare of humans and to help them keep healthy. This international and interdisciplinary journal publishes original research papers, review articles and brief notes on materials and engineering for biological and medical systems.
Articles in Bio-Medical Materials and Engineering are peer-reviewed and cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to:
- Engineering as applied to improving diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of disease and injury, and better substitutes for damaged or disabled human organs;
- Studies of biomaterial interactions with the human body, bio-compatibility, interfacial and interaction problems;
- Biomechanical behavior under biological and/or medical conditions;
- Mechanical and biological properties of membrane biomaterials;
- Cellular and tissue engineering, physiological, biophysical, biochemical bioengineering aspects;
- Implant failure fields and degradation of implants;
- Biomimetics engineering and materials including system analysis as supporter for aged people and as rehabilitation;
- Bioengineering and materials technology as applied to the decontamination against environmental problems;
- Biosensors, bioreactors, bioprocess instrumentation and control system;
- Application to food engineering;
- Standardization problems on biomaterials and related products;
- Assessment of reliability and safety of biomedical materials and man-machine systems;
- Product liability of biomaterials and related products.
