A biomaterial is defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostics procedures. They are used in close contact with biological systems, tissues and fluids and to serve a medical purpose, such as replacing a damaged organ or treating a disease. They play an integral role in medicine - restoring function and facilitating healing for people after injury or disease. Biomaterials may be natural or synthetic and are used in medical applications to support, enhance or replace damaged tissue or biological function. The first historical use of biomaterials dates to antiquity, when ancient Egyptians used sutures made from animal sinew. The modern field of biomaterials combine medicine, biology, physics, and chemistry and more recent influences from tissue engineering and materials science. The field has grown significantly over the past decade, largely due to discoveries in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and more, and in this book a new generation of biomaterials; particles, capsules, microbubbles and fibres are elucidated.
Key Features:

Jubair Ahmed, is a postdoctoral researcher at University College London. Having studied undergraduate Biochemistry at The University of Westminster, he went on to complete a MSc in Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering at University College London where he graduated top of his class, for which he was awarded the Armourers and Brasiers' Biomaterials Medal. Having completed his PhD in 2022, his research has focussed on the manufacturing of advanced into biomaterials which have various applications in biomedical engineering. To date, he has published 24 journal papers, with four journal front covers, a H-index of 11 and over 500 citations. His work has been published in leading journals such as in Biotechnology Advances and Langmuir. He believes that public engagement, especially via the use of non-conventional and modern mediums such as e-information sharing platforms and social media is the way forward in increasing public engagement in science.
