Advance biomedical engineering – A fundamental review of composite materials and its applications

Abstract

Composite materials or composites are engineered substances that comprise in two or three components with a variety of differences in their physical chemical, mechanical, and physical properties. The distinctive properties of composites are a result of their constituent components of their individual properties as well as their volume fractions as well as arrangement within the system of materials. In accordance with the application the composites are designed to meet specific geometrical mechanical, structural and even aesthetic demands. The applications of these synthetic materials are in construction, for instance in bridges and structures and the automotive industry. aeronautics, automobile bodies and naval (e.g., ships and vessels) as well as biomedical fields. While polymeric, metallic or ceramic biomaterials are known to have all been used to treat medical conditions such as tissue repair and replacements for a long time but composites are only now getting noticed. The primary goal of this article is to describe composite materials and to discuss their present and future applications in the field of biomedicine. In spite of years of research and tests in a variety of biomedical applications commercial distribution and production of composite-based medical equipment was only completed. Before making use of these tools successfully you must be aware of the intended goals and their limitations.
