Abstract

Even since antiquity, and thanks to their ingenuity, doctors have benefited from using natural materials “biomaterials” to substitute tissue, organs or other body parts. Over time, traditional and rudimentary biomaterials have been replaced with improved and targeted synthetic materials specially designed for specific applications. This chapter provides an overview of natural and synthetic biomaterials, used in developing innovative devices for tissue engineering applications, from polymers and ceramics to composite materials (metals were discussed in more details in Chap. 1). The first part of this chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the first biomaterials used in ancient medicine. This part highlights the essential role that primitive biomaterials brought in today’s medicine. In the second part, natural and synthetic biomaterials are very thoroughly presented. The main aspect of these biomaterials is related to their physicochemical and mechanical properties, which must be considered when featured for tissue engineering applications. The focus of the third part will significantly illustrate the interconnection and combination between medicine and scientific research to develop new platforms for tissue engineering applications. Over the past few decades, researchers and scientists have demonstrated considerable progress in developing novel biomaterials as substitutes for replacing and repairing diverse damaged tissues. Lastly, conclusions and future trends review the most important and complex aspects that tissue engineering provides in combing diverse materials to develop suitable substitutes to alleviate patients’ lives.
