Journal of Materials Chemistry B themed issue on Bioinspired Surfaces Engineering for Biomaterials

We are delighted to present this Journal of Materials Chemistry B themed issue on Bioinspired Surfaces Engineering for Biomaterials, guest edited by Professor Jian Ji (Zhejiang University), Professor Kazuhiko Ishihara (The University of Tokyo), Professor Shaoyi Jiang (Cornell University), Professor M. Cristina L. Martins (Universidade do Porto) and Professor G. Julius Vancso (University of Twente).

Understanding the sophisticated functionalities offered by objects and processes found in nature will guide the design of materials with desirable properties to meet challenging applications. Zwitterionic and other materials, inspired by biological structures and functions at different levels (e.g. cell membrane, protein, tissues etc.) have shown great potential in diagnostic, drug delivery and tissue regeneration applications.

This themed issue of Journal of Materials Chemistry B is focused on recent rapid development in bioinspired biomaterials. It aims at covering the recent progress on zwitterionic materials specifically and other bioinspired biomaterials broadly, including properties, applications, and synthesis of bioinspired and zwitterionic materials related to biology and medicine, bioinspired surfaces/interfaces, fabrication and functionality of bioinspired nanoparticles, high-throughput methods and applications in nanomedicine, nanodiagnostics, medical devices, sensors, and scaffolds for tissue regeneration.

 

All of the articles in the issue are free to access until 8 May 2022. A selection of articles from the issue is provided below.
