Opis

Biomaterials are being used for the healthcare applications from ancient times. But subsequent evolution has made them more versatile and has increased their utility. Biomaterials have revolutionized the areas like bioengineering and tissue engineering for the development of novel strategies to combat life threatening diseases. Bioengineering is one of the most viable option which has a potential to improve the existing healthcare scenario. It uses biomaterials and tissue engineering concepts for the repair of damaged tissue. Bioengineering has also shown a good progress in diagnostics and newer methods are being developed which can make the detection easy and accurate.For students in the area of biomaterials, this is an especially exciting time. On the one hand, they have the opportunity to meet and learn from some of the following categories: (1) Synthetic (metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites); (2) Naturally derived (animal and plant derived); (3) Semi-synthetic or hybrid materials. All these types of biomaterials are being used in healthcare from a long time period, but ensuing developments have enhanced their utility in healthcare.
