Abstract

This chapter describes the overviews of biomimetic medical materials which covers innovation and significance of terminology, diverse fabrication methods, and technologies ranges from nanotechnology to 3D printing to develop biomimetic materials for medical applications. It also depicts specific fundamental characteristics required for a material to be a model biomimetic material for particular medical application. It basically outlines current statuses of biomimetic medical materials used for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, drug/protein delivery, bioimaging, biosensing, and 3D bioprinting technology. It also illustrates the effect of functionalization of a material through chemical and biological approaches towards different applications. Not only, the key properties and potential applications of the biomimetic materials, but it also explains the protection and utilization of intellectual property associated with biomedical materials.
