Journal Title：Biomaterials

Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.

《生物材料》是一本國際期刊，涵蓋生物材料的科學(xué)和臨床應(yīng)用。生物材料現(xiàn)在被定義為一種經(jīng)過工程改造的物質(zhì)，這種物質(zhì)可以單獨使用或作為復(fù)雜系統(tǒng)的一部分使用，通過控制與生物系統(tǒng)組成部分的相互作用來指導(dǎo)任何治療或診斷程序的過程。該期刊旨在為原創(chuàng)論文和權(quán)威評論和意見論文的發(fā)表提供同行評議的論壇，這些論文和評論涉及生物材料在臨床實踐中使用面臨的最重要問題。該期刊的范圍涵蓋了廣泛的物理、生物和化學(xué)科學(xué)，這些科學(xué)支撐著生物材料的設(shè)計及其所應(yīng)用的臨床學(xué)科。這些科學(xué)包括聚合物合成和特性、藥物和基因載體設(shè)計、宿主反應(yīng)的生物學(xué)、免疫學(xué)和毒理學(xué)以及納米級的自組裝。臨床應(yīng)用包括所有臨床學(xué)科的醫(yī)療技術(shù)和再生醫(yī)學(xué)療法，以及依賴創(chuàng)新造影劑和傳感劑的診斷系統(tǒng)。該期刊涉及癌癥診斷和治療、植入式設(shè)備、藥物輸送系統(tǒng)、基因載體、生物納米技術(shù)和組織工程等領(lǐng)域。

Biomaterials創(chuàng)刊于1980年，由Elsevier BV出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 材料科學(xué)：生物材料全領(lǐng)域，在行業(yè)領(lǐng)域中學(xué)術(shù)影響力很大，屬于TOP期刊，國際一流期刊，關(guān)注度和專業(yè)度非常高，所以對原創(chuàng)文章要求創(chuàng)新性很高，過審難度很高，如果您有志于TOP期刊，建議關(guān)注此刊。平均審稿速度 約1.0個月 約3.7周，影響因子指數(shù)12.8，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
