Abstract

In medical field, biomaterial has advanced dramatically in the past 50 years with multidisciplinary work presented by the chemists, engineers, biologists and clinicians. Truly such smart biomaterials have gained much attention due to their ability to recognise, respond to environment and even one can record. In addition, attractive research and advancements in biomaterials have triggered opportunities and brought to the treatments of host tissue repairs. Biomaterials are classified as natural or synthetic according to their source. Synthetic biomaterials have found more versatile and exhibit diverse applications owing to their tuneable designs and modifications. The importance of biomaterials exists in the human body with the recovery or regeneration of the damaged tissues, non-toxicity and long-term effect of exotic substance to human body to reduce as lower as possible. For the fabrications of biomaterials materials, selection plays vital role in respect of biocompatibility, degradability and medicinal values. Generally, polymers, metals, metal alloys and ceramics were employed to preparer biomaterials. The presentations in this chapter reflect the true inter-disciplinary nature of biomaterials, contributions to the medical field. The presentations also shows the potential applications of biomaterials being employed in surgical implants, matrices, used for long-term implantable, controlled drug release, therapeutic, diagnosis and in switchers.
