Navigating the challenges and exploring the perspectives associated with emerging novel biomaterials

Abstract

The field of biomaterials is a continuously evolving interdisciplinary field encompassing biological sciences, materials sciences, chemical sciences, and physical sciences with a multitude of applications realized every year. However, different biomaterials developed for different applications have unique challenges in the form of biological barriers, and addressing these challenges simultaneously is also a challenge. Nevertheless, immense progress has been made through the development of novel materials with minimal adverse effects such as DNA nanostructures, specific synthesis strategies based on supramolecular chemistry, and modulating the shortcomings of existing biomaterials through effective functionalization techniques. This review discusses all these aspects of biomaterials, including the challenges at each level of their development and application, proposed countermeasures for these challenges, and some future directions that may have potential benefits.
