Publisher's Synopsis
Biomaterial can be described as a combination of substances originating from natural, inorganic or organic materials that is biocompatible in exactly or partially contact with the body for healing time. They involve complete or part of a living organism or biomedical device which performs, augments or replacements any natural function. Biomaterial is a nonviable substance used in a medical device intended to interact with biological systems. Their usage within a physiologic medium needs the characteristic features such as efficient and reliable. These characteristic features have provided with a suitable combination of chemical, mechanical, physical and biological properties. Nowadays, biomaterials are commonly used in various medical devices and systems; synthetic skin; drug delivery systems; tissue cultures; hybrid organs; synthetic blood vessels; artificial hearts; cardiac pacemakers; screws, plates, wires and pins for bone treatments; total artificial joint implants; skull reconstruction; dental and maxillofacial applications. Metals and their alloys, polymers, ceramics and composites are commonly used for biomedical applications. These materials that have different atomic arrangement present the diversified structural, physical, chemical and mechanical properties and so different properties offer alternative applications in the body. The mechanical properties of metals and their alloys such as strength, elasticity coefficient and fatigue life makes them attractive materials for many load-bearing biomedical systems. Metallic materials tend to degradation in a corrosion process and even as the corrosion reactions of releasing some side products such as ions, chemical compounds and insoluble components that may cause adverse biological reactions. This book named with Biomaterials Research Advances presents the latest fundamental and applied biomaterials research to the broader materials community. It includes contributions which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials and covers all aspects of biomaterials research. It will facilitate interactions between the biomaterials community and the broader materials communities.

Ceramic materials are desirable biomaterials due to the biocompatible properties such as bioactive, bioinert and biodegradable, however they have significant disadvantages such as brittleness, low strength etc. Polymers are attractive materials for biomedical applications such as cardiovascular devices, replacement and proliferation of various soft tissues. They are also used in drug delivery systems, diagnostic supports and as a reconstructive material for tissue engineering.
