Advances in Biomaterials—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Biomaterials are materials that are put into the body for medical purposes, such as artificial joints, dentures, artificial blood vessels, artificial skin, and artificial organs. Research on biomaterials is conducted in the field of biomedical engineering. Research is conducted on materials, such as polymers and fiber materials, that can perform their intended functions when placed inside the body, such as materials that can be used for joints and blood vessels. Research is conducted in fields that focus on the functions of materials, such as structural/functional materials, mechanical materials/strength of materials, and composite materials/surface interface engineering. As a part of this topic, we would like to introduce biomaterials that are expected to be useful in future medical treatment.
