Biomaterials in Medicine and Engineering

Biomaterials are materials designed to interact well with biological organisms or molecules. They may come from an organism, be produced by an organism, or be made as a synthetic polymer. Because of these properties, engineers use biomaterials in medicine and other biological applications.

Biology is now being used to meet engineering challenges as biologically derived materials offer key properties that manmade materials cannot. Bio-derived materials, sometimes called biomaterials, are created from living or once living organisms. These materials have gained popularity recently as they are biocompatible and can act as matrices th...
