Preface
A meteoric scientific and technological revolution in biomedicine is underway and is ruling by advanced biomaterials. A number of factors involved in biomaterials’ advancement complement each other. Science of materials, synthesis procedures, and analytical contrivance are some of the major factors that have transformed over a period of time, thus popularizing the biomaterials for their advanced biomedical applications. Much of revolution in biomaterials is fundamental in nature; however, advances are often based on the new and extended understanding of basic principles of biomaterials along with its applications. Biomaterials are a class of materials that are intended for applications in the biomedical field without being biologically vulnerable. Amon
