Abstract
Biomaterials have attracted growing interest in the biomedical field thanks to their unique ability to interact with biological systems and make a significant contribution to advances in medicine, tissue engineering and sustainable technologies. Their importance lies in their dual potential: improving patients' quality of life while reducing their impact on the environment. This chapter first presents a detailed classification of biomaterials, distinguishing between natural, synthetic and hybrid categories. Next, the key properties of biomaterials are explored, showing their role in biocompatibility, durability and clinical performance. These fundamental characteristics directly influence the choice of biomaterials for a variety of applications. In addition, this chapter highlights the diversity of current biomaterial applications, while discussing the persistent challenges and limitations encountered in their design and use. Finally, future prospects are discussed, including the emergence of personalized biomaterials, which could revolutionize biomedical technologies.
