The adoption of combinatorial and computational methods in biomaterials design is a highway towards the discovery and realization of tailored polymeric materials to satisfy the specific requirements ...

Hendriks: If we look at the evolution of biomaterials technology then we can see that, initially, the choice of biomedical materials for use in the body was based on achieving a suitable combination ...

Biomaterials are materials used to build medical devices or implants/prostheses, meant to restore or replace lost or impaired body functions. They are derived from natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic ...

Biomaterials have the potential to significantly cut carbon emissions but designers should approach them with caution to avoid creating a whole new set of problems, warns Sioban Imms. The vision of a ...
