Keywords: Biomaterials, Biocompatibility, Medical Applications, Innovative BiomaterialsAbstract
Biomaterials are materials that are developed by combining organic and synthetic materials in medical applications, can be integrated into the body and are biocompatible. In recent years, rapid advances in biomaterial technologies have enabled revolutionary innovations in the field of health. In biomaterial production, there are technical and economic obstacles such as suitability for the target tissue, the need to use mechanically and biologically stable materials, sterilization, modification and scalable production. In addition, making them suitable for the clinical environment, ensuring long-term biocompatibility and predicting biological responses that may vary from patient to patient also pose great challenges.The purpose of this review is to examine current biomaterial research and technologies and evaluate their potential effects in medical applications. Recent studies on biocompatibility of biomaterials, production processes, functional properties and difficulties encountered in clinical applications are examined in detail within the scope of the review. In particular, 4D printing technology, self-healing biomaterials, biomimetic designs and nanotechnology-based modifications are considered as prominent innovative approaches in biomaterial engineering.This study provides a comprehensive perspective on the current status of biomaterial engineering and how it can provide more effective and sustainable solutions in medical applications in the future in light of developing technologies.
