Biomaterials Advances

Formerly known as Materials Science and Engineering: C, with a 2022 IF of 7.9.

Biomaterials Advances includes topics at the interface of the biomedical sciences and materials engineering. These topics include:

Bioinspired and biomimetic materials for medical applications

Materials of biological origin for medical applications

Materials for "active" medical applications

Self-assembling and self-healing materials for medical applications

"Smart" (i.e., stimulus-response) materials for medical applications

Ceramic, metallic, polymeric, and composite materials for medical applications

Materials for in vivo sensing

Materials for in vivo imaging

Materials for delivery of pharmacologic agents and vaccines

Novel approaches for characterizing and modeling materials for medical applications

Manuscripts on biological topics without a materials science component, or manuscripts on materials science without biological applications, will not be considered for publication in Biomaterials Advances. New submissions are first assessed for language, scope and originality (plagiarism check) and can be desk rejected before review if they need English language improvements, are out of scope or present excessive duplication with published sources.

Biomaterials Advances sits within Elsevier's biomaterials science portfolio alongside Biomaterials, Materials Today Bio and Biomaterials and Biosystems. As part of the broader Materials Today family, Biomaterials Advances offers authors rigorous peer review, rapid decisions, and high visibility. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
