Polymeric biomaterials (biopolymers) are materials which can be used within physiological environments over long or short periods of time. These properties allow their use for the replacement of various types of tissues. Polymers have made an impact on biomaterials research and medical practices and will continue to be the major workforce for biomaterials in the 21st century. In this session, we explore the latest polymer researches over various aspects of their biomedical applications.

Ceramics are biomaterials, now commonly used in the medical fields as dental implants and bone implants. Surgical cermet is used regularly. Joint replacements are commonly coated with bioceramic materials to reduce wear and inflammatory response. Other examples of medical uses for bioceramics are in pacemakers, kidney dialysis machines, and respirators. In this session, we explore into the latest bioceramic researches over various aspects of their biomedical applications.

Composite materials are biomaterials which contain more distinct constituent materials on a microscopic or macroscopic size scale. Accordingly, fiberglass and other reinforced plastics, as well as bone, are viewed as composite materials, but alloys such as brass or metals such as steel with carbide particles are not. In this session, composite materials fundamentals and applications in biomaterials are explored.

Biomimetic materials are biomaterials developed using inspiration from nature. This may be useful in the design of composite materials. Natural structures have inspired and innovated human creations. In this session, biomimetic material fundamentals and applications are discussed.

Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, leveraging advances in materials metrology and materials synthesis which have been developed in support of microfabrication research. Materials with the structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, or mechanical properties. In this session, we discuss the implementation of nanotechnology in biomaterials research and their biomedical applications.

Advanced biomaterials can be defined in many ways. Biomaterials that represent advances over the traditional materials that have been used for years. Advanced biomaterials refer to all new materials and modifications to existing biomaterials to obtain superior performance in one or more characteristics that are critical for the application under consideration. In this session, we explore into the latest researches over the advanced biomaterials of their biomedical applications.

Biomaterials play a major role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.  In this session, we explore into the latest biomaterials researches over various aspects of their applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Orthopedic biomaterials are meant to be implanted in the human body as constituents of devices that are designed to perform certain biological functions by substituting or repairing different tissues such as bone, cartilage or ligaments and tendons, and even by guiding bone repair when necessary. In this session, we explore into the latest biomaterials researches over various aspects of their applications in orthopedics.

Most biomaterials used in medical 3D printing technology, such as metals, ceramics, hard polymers, and composites, are stiff, and thus widely used for orthodontic applications. Soft polymers, including hydrogels, are widely used in bioprinting cells for tissue fabrication and organ fabrication. In this session, we explore into the latest researches over the biomaterials of their 3D printing/bioprinting applications.

Implantology is the branch of dentistry dedicated to dental implants. Dental materials are biomaterials which are specially fabricated and designed for use in dentistry. There are many different types of dental materials, and their characteristics vary according to their intended purpose. In this session, we explore the latest researches over the biomaterials of their various dental applications.

Biomechanics principles emphasize cardiovascular biomechanics and musculoskeletal biomechanics. Biomaterials play an important role in the design of implants and surgical instrumentation for both cardiovascular applications and musculoskeletal applications. In this session, we explore the latest researches over the biomaterials of their various cardiovascular applications and musculoskeletal applications.

Biomaterials such as polymer nanotubes and topological nanostructures to functional device concepts such as DNA computers or nanowire biosensors. In this session, we discuss the latest researches over the biomaterials of their various biosensing applications.

In this session, advanced design and fabrication techniques for polymeric biomaterial-based biophotonic devices and the applications of bioimaging, biosensing, & phototherapy using polymeric biomaterial-based biophotonics will be discussed.

In this session, we explore into the latest researches over the biomaterials and nanomaterials of their various applications in drug delivery systems (DDS), Ophthalmology, Wound healing, and Cancer Therapeutics.
