Abstract
This chapter focuses on the nature of biomaterials, particularly those used for implantation. It includes a discussion of the clinical applications of biomaterials for medical conditions such as cardiac disease, therapy after traumatic injury, diarrheal disease, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and stroke. The preparation of PLLA and soybean protein fiber, the two biomaterials that were tested for human tissue biocompatibility, is described.

Belter et al. demonstrated as early as the 1940s that extraction with alcohol was a superior method of soy protein production. Horan (1974) discussed the hexane extraction method.
