The current interest in developing novel materials has motivated an
increasing need for biological and medical studies in a variety of
dinical applications. Indeed, it is dear that to achieve the
requisite mechanical, chemical and biomedical properties,
especially for new bioactive materials, it is necessary to develop
novel synthesis routes. The tremendous success of materials science
in developing new biomaterials and fostering technological
innovation arises from its focus on interdisciplinary research and
collaboration between materials and medical sciences. Materials
scientists seek to relate one natural phenomenon to the basic
structures of the materials and to recognize the causes and effects
of the phenomena. In this way, they have developed explanations for
the changing of the properties, the reactions of the materials to
the environment, the interface behaviors between the artificial
materials and human tissue, the time effects on the materials, and
many other natural occurrences. By the same means, medical
scientists have also studied the biological and medical effects of
these materials, and generated the knowledge needed to produce
useful medical devices. The concept of biomaterials is one of the
most important ideas ever generated by the application of materials
science to the medical field. In traditional materials research,
interest focuses primarilyon the synthesis , structure, and
mechanical properties of materials commonly used for structural
purposes in industry, for instance in mechanical parts of
machinery.
