Biomaterials: Stem Cell Differentiation Ronald Richardson II Be 2352 Section2
Overview What are biomaterials? Types of biomaterials? Specific target of processing biomaterials Advancements in biomaterial technology Conclusion
Biomaterials Materials that can be either synthetic or natural, that are used for medical devices that come in contact with biological systems Terms For Later: Stem cells Scaffolds
Types of Biomaterials Synthetic Natural Polymer Peptide Proteins Collagen, fibrin, and silk Polysaccharides Agarose, alginate, hyaluronan, chitosan
Synthetic Biomaterials Polymer PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) PEG (polyethylene glycol) Peptide Form Hydroxyapatite
Natural Biomaterials Protein based Polysaccharide based Collagen Fibrin Silk Polysaccharide based Agarose Alginate Hyaluronan chitosan
Equation for Photochemical Modification CD- Minimum feature size K1- coefficient for factors in the process - lambda NA- numerical aperture
Advancements Biomaterial use is growing and improving Drawbacks Advantages
Conclusion Effectiveness in Biomaterials Benefits are proven to be fairly long term
