Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in the Journal of Functional
Biomaterials - JFB (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jfb/, ISSN 2079-4983),
and is now open to receive submissions of full research papers and
comprehensive review articles for peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Biocompatibility of Biomaterials
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/jfb/biocompatibility_biomaterials/
Guest Editor: Prof. Dr. Paul V. Hatton
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 June 2012

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at jfb@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.

Article Processing Charges (APC) are waived for well prepared
manuscripts. However, a fee of 250 CHF will apply if extensive English
corrections must be done by the editors. For details see:
http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jfb/instructions/. Manuscripts should be
submitted through the online manuscript submission and editorial system at
http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/.

The Journal of Functional Biomaterials (ISSN 2079-4983) is an open
access journal of biomaterials science and engineering. It provides a forum
for papers that advance the understanding of the relationship between the
structure, properties and functions of all kinds of functional biomaterials. It
is published by MDPI online quarterly.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
