Design, Integration, and Application of Intelligent Biomaterials

Submission Deadline: November 30, 2025Contribute to this Special Topic

Intelligent Biomaterials materials are defined as a class of advanced materials that integrate biological components or living cells with synthetic materials, designed to exhibit adaptive and dynamic functionalities such as self-regulation, self-healing, and environmental responsiveness. With the advancement of biomaterials and bioelectronics science, these intelligent materials can be integrated into various systems, and ultimately endow them with real-time environmental sensing and adaptive biofunction adjustments. Currently, frontier research mainly focuses on exploring the versatile applications of these systems in flexible wearable electronics, tissue engineering scaffolds that mimic biological structures, and smart textiles with embedded sensing capabilities. While clinical applications remain important, this emerging research direction prioritizes fundamental design principles for stimuli-responsive materials, bioelectronic/biomaterial system integration, and scalable manufacturing methods and extended biomedical applications

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Material Design: Design and fabrication of intelligent materials that include stimuli-responsive polymers, piezoelectric composites, and nanofibrous scaffolds with tailored mechanical/electrochemical properties, etc.
  •  Integrated Smart Systems: Integration of intelligent materials into flexible bioelectronics and engineered bio-scaffolds for wearable health monitoring and adaptive tissue repair.
  • Pre-clinical and Clinical Validation: Preclinical demonstration and validation of these intelligent systems/devices for disease diagnosis and advanced therapeutics.
  • Hydrogel and Fiber-Based materials for Wound Healing and Tissue Repair: Design, mechanistic Insights, and translational potential.
