Biomaterials

Bio​materials science is the physical and biological study of materials. Biomaterial is the substance that engineered from the natural as well as synthesized in the laboratory for the medical uses such as bone plate, bone cement, artificial ligaments contact lens, heart valves, etc. Biomaterial comes in contact with tissue, blood or biological fluids and use in biomaterials are also use as bioelectrodes and biosensors, the bioelectrodes function as interference between biological structures and electronic system. Biosensor is also use in the biomaterials, the biosensor is an analytical device which combines a biological component with a physiochemical detectors. Some early biomaterials are gold, iron, brass, glass, wood, and bone. Biomaterial is also biodegradable in nature, corrosion resistance, no carcinogenic, non-toxic, and non-allergenic.
