Abstract
Advanced biomaterials designed for tissue engineering are mostly precise polymers with well-controlled surface and bulk properties. The need for extremely specific biomaterials having multifunctional tasks necessitates the use of complex systems composed of synthetic or natural polymers in the form of blend or alloy, but unexpected phase separation appears sometimes as a drawback with deteriorating function when used in biological environments. In this sense, blends of polymers should experience compatibilization toward targeted biomedical uses. There have been wide varieties of blending technologies aided by compatibilization that not only enhance the mechanical properties but also improve the cellular response of polymer blends. This chapter is targeted at classification and understanding the properties of such systems.
