ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes recent literature studies of different classes and potentials of biomaterials and biocomposite applications in numerous biomedical fields, which fascinate the attention of biomaterials' researchers and consultants. Extensive advances in biomaterials have been made since the early days of wooden teeth and gold dental implants, yet there is still significant development ahead. In the past, implementation of industrial biocomposites for biological applications was never proposed. Biocomposite materials have been established considerably over the last era and advanced research works have been conducted on living tissue for body tissue restoration, regeneration, as well as replacement. Bioceramics and their composites are used as biological grafts due to their biocompatibility. Synthetic and natural biopolymers and their composites have been extensively utilized in biomedical fields due to their significant biocompatibility and biodegradability. In addition, metals and alloys are used as biomaterials and biocomposites because of their excellent mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to increase the understanding of the utilization of biomaterials and biocomposites in therapeutic and biomedical fields.
