Abstract

Devices that replace a biological part or function in a safe, dependable, physiologically appropriate way are made from novel material. In order to repair a tissue for the intended purposes, biomaterials are made as a structure, device, or material. They can be created from either a synthetic or a natural source. The origin of the materials has allowed them to be divided into many sorts. Their physical, chemical, mechanical, mostly biological characteristics vary. Nowadays, a variety of advancements are made to create novel materials because they are essentially eco-friendly and biodegradable. These substances may be used to treat a condition or an injury. These materials are suitable for use in medical applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. On the host body, modern materials are employed, although they have no different impact. Catheters, synthetic tissue, other items are some of the various materials or devices employed.In the last few decades, biomaterials have been created that can work alongside live tissues or act as an organ in a living system. Metal, ceramic, polymeric, composite biomaterials are the main types of biomaterials employed. Each material has a unique set of characteristics that enable it to function well in a certain application. New materials have been created with distinctive qualities and functionalities for a variety of applications as a result of developments in the field of materials science. In this review, we highlight the recent developments in materials for medical and industrial applications, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, environmental remediation. Specifically, we focus on the latest advances in the design, synthesis, characterization of novel materials, including biodegradable polymers, hydrogels, nanomaterials, porous materials. We discuss their potential applications, as well as their advantages and limitations in these fields. Furthermore, we examine the challenges facing the development of these materials and the future prospects for their use in various medical and industrial applications.
