Emerging Trends in the Applications of Metallic and Ceramic Biomaterials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bio-Materials and Prototyping Applications in Medicine

Abstract

This chapter discusses the different types of biomaterials used for medical applications. Metallic, ceramic, and nanomaterial-based biomaterials are classified and described based on their physical and biocompatibility properties. Various applications of these biomaterials are discussed. A new class of a biodegradable magnesium alloy with potential to replace and augment existing implant materials is elaborated. State of the art in biomaterial research is also introduced.
