Biomimetic Orthopedic Materials

  • First Online:

Abstract

Biomimetics refers to the design and engineering of artificial materials, structures, and systems that emulate those naturally occurring in biological entities. In recent years, interdisciplinary approaches based on biomimicry, materials sciences, and tissue engineering have enabled the development of biomimetic materials with defined chemical composition, physical structure, and biological function for a wide range of biomedical applications. These types of materials mimic the biochemical properties of native tissues, while also possessing the physical properties of core materials. Hence, they can be used to deliver different types of physiological stimuli that can modulate cell behavior. Significant efforts have been made to engineer biomimetic materials that can recapitulate specific features of the native ECM to act as bioactive templates to promote the repair and functional reconstruction of various types of tissues. In this chapter, we will provide an overview of current trends in the design of biomimetic orthopedic materials, which feature structural and functional properties inspired from biological entities.
