Biomaterial

Biomaterials are natural or artificial materials that are used to fulfill or support the functions of living tissues in the human body and are constantly or periodically in contact with body fluids. Although biomaterials are mainly used in medical applications, their use in the biotechnological field should not be ignored. These include their use in cell technology as a support material in the production of cells and cellular products, in biosensors, in bioseparation processes, in the immobilization of bioactive substances such as enzymes, tissues, cells, and in biochips.

It is aimed by the BIOENAMS group to develop more perfect biomaterials, especially in parallel with the developments in nano technology, information technologies and fabrication methods. Since the biomaterials developed by the BIOENAMS group are used in the environments of the human body with very variable conditions, it is aimed to be resistant to all these variable conditions.

Subheadings of the subject of Biomaterials studied by the BIOENAMS Group can be listed as follows;

Biocompatible coatings of implant materials,

-Biodegradable scaffolds

-Porous biomaterials

-Biosensors

-Drug delivery systems

-Bioimaging

-Alloy implants

-Self-healable biomaterials

-Motion-sensing strain sensors
