Summary
In the present era, researchers are continuously working to develop newer biomaterials and smart materials for rehabilitation, implantation, disease diagnosis, and treatment. Various materials are discovered for dental implants including, surface-modified titanium implants, roxolid, and zirconia to fulfill the functional requirements. Metals, metals alloys, ceramics, and polymers are also utilized in medical implants, tissue healers, tissue regenerators, biosensors, drug delivery, and disease diagnosis. Smart materials are known for their unique responsivity property according to an external stimulus such as magnetic field, electrical field, pH, temperature, light, and stress hence has a wide range of application in healthcare. Smart materials including shape memory alloys are play a significant role in the development of sensors and actuators which are utilized for orthopedic, angioplasty, cardiovascular, and orthodontic applications.
This special issue welcomes original research and review papers focused on the designing, modification, and application of biomaterials and smart materials in the field of assistive devices, rehabilitation, implantation, disease diagnosis, and treatment.
