Advanced materials application in biotechnologies and biomedicine

Materials matter: any breakthrough that changes society owes its success to the molecular building blocks used to create it. Advanced materials are essential toeconomic security and human well-being, with applications in industries aimed at addressing challenges in clean energy, national security, and humanwelfare.Therefore, speedingupthe paceof development and implementation of advanced material systems is critical for achieving global competeti- ( veness in the 21 century. In recent decades, significant progress has been evident in the processing and properties of materials intended for use in various biotechnologies, biomedcine, and dentistry. This volume specifically introduces new materials based on natural and synthetic substances with improved properties relevant to applications in biomedicine and biotechnologies.
