Biopolymers and Biomaterials

Bio Material Applications

Biomaterials are introduced into a body as medical devices that are used to replace the part or a function of the body in a safe reliable economic and physiologically acceptable manner. Humans most sue in biomedical applications such as artificial ligaments and orthopaedic for joint replacement, cancer therapy bone plates, ophthalmic heart valve dental implements, vascular grafts hip replacements applications. These are fabricated from carbons, metals, elastomers, fabrics, and natural valves must not react with chemicals in body long term replacement must not be biodegradable. These materials are used in Non-medical applications such as grow cells in culture medium, assay of blood proteins in laboratories, etc. physical requirement of this materials is hard and flexible.
