Biomaterial

A biomaterial is really, any material, providing it is able to interact with a biological system, and adapt internally to biological processes. Every natural organic material is a biomaterial, as well as a swiftly increasing range of smart materials for prosthetics, and biomimetic work to replicate functions of the body in chip form or create structures that replicate the functions of living organisms.
