As biomaterials are used in medical devices, providing needs in such diverse surgical disciplines as opthalmology, cardiology, neuromuscular surgery, orthopaedics, dentistry etc., they must have intimate contact with patient's tissue or body fluids providing a real physical inte…
"Most current applications of biomaterials involve structural functions, even in those organs and systems which are not primarily structural in their nature, or very simple chemical or electrical functions. Complex chemical functions such as those of the liver and complex electr…
