Sessions/Tracks
Session on Advanced Biomaterials
Biomaterials are synthetic or natural materials that are considered to interrelate with the biological system either to repair any injured organs or to replace or tissues as a part of the medical device. Biomaterials can be made synthetically or they are naturally available materials. While the synthetic ones are the various forms of polymers, ceramics, and composites, gelatin and silk are few natural biomaterials. Biocomposites are designed by using natural fibers and resin. It can be wood fibers (magazines, soft and hardwoods) or non-wood natural fibers (wheat, rice, coconut, etc.). In the fields of orthopedic, dental and cardiac implants, metals are mostly a hard choice of biomaterials because metals can lead to corrosion and wear. So, modification of metals and surface coating are essential for medical applications.
