  2. Biomaterial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomaterial

    The molecular composition of a biomaterial determines the physical and chemical properties of a biomaterial. These compositions create complex structures that allow the biomaterial to function, and therefore are necessary to define and understand in order to develop a biomaterial. biomaterials can be designed to replicate natural organisms, a ...

  3. Bio-based material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-based_material

    By definition, biodegradable materials are formed or organic compounds which can thus be broken down by living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or water molds, and reabsorbed by the natural environment. [13] Whether a material is biodegradable is determined by its chemical structure, not the origin of the material from which it is made. [14]

  5. Biometal (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometal_(biology)

    At first, the study of biometals was referred to as bioinorganic chemistry. Each branch of bioinorganic chemistry studied separate, particular sub-fields of the subject. However, this led to an isolated view of each particular aspect in a biological system. This view was revised into a holistic approach of biometals in metallomics. [2]

    A biomaterial is any matter, surface, or construct that interacts with biological systems. [23] Biomaterials science encompasses elements of medicine, biology, chemistry, tissue engineering, and materials science.

  8. Biocompatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocompatibility

    In the literature, one quite often stumbles upon the adjective form, ‘biocompatible’. However, according to Williams’ definition, this does not make any sense because biocompatibility is contextual, i.e. much more than just the material itself will determine the clinical outcome of the medical device of which the biomaterial is a part.

  9. Material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material

    A material is a substance or mixture of substances that constitutes an object.Materials can be pure or impure, living or non-living matter. Materials can be classified on the basis of their physical and chemical properties, or on their geological origin or biological function.
