Biopolymers and Biomaterials

Advanced Biomaterials

Biomaterials come from nature and synthesized in laboratory most of the industries using a variety of chemical processes of utilizing metallic components, polymers, ceramics and composite materials. They are used for medical applications. The Synthetics are the various forms of polymers, ceramics and composites. Bio ceramics are nothing but Alumina, Bio glass, Zirconia are used in dental, surgery, drug delivery, and orthopaedic cardiac implant fields. But metals can be leads to wear resistance, corrosion, surface coating and modification of metals are essential for medical applications. The ability of biomaterials to induce a physiological response that is supportive of the biomaterials performance is known as bio activity. Commonly used in glasses and ceramics.
