Abstract
In this chapter, we aim to review three main types of biomaterials that include organic, inorganic, and a combination of them in the particles/fibers/bulk form. Organic materials are carbon-containing chemical compounds existing in living organisms while inorganic biomaterials are not derived from living sources and lack carbon element in their structure. There exist a third category containing hybrids and composites of organic and inorganic biomaterials. In any of these types, biomaterials could be exploited in different formats rather than bulk. They may adopt particles, fiber, and nanotube structures in nanometer scales. In this chapter, each type of biomaterial is defined and some examples of different shapes are mentioned.
