| | According to the Society for Biomaterials, a biomaterial is "any material, natural or man-made, that comprises whole or part of a living structure or biomedical device which performs, augments, or replaces a natural function." Each year, biomaterials save or enhance millions of lives by their use in medical devices. | | | But instead of researching the interaction of these materials in a pure engineering environment, you're interested in the use and interaction of these materials in a living organism. | | | You need various ways of expressing the biomaterial. |
