The surprising finding in studies recently performed [24] show that the bacteriostatic and antibacterial properties of the Ca-aluminate biomaterial may not just be related to pH, but also to the hydration procedure and the microstructure/nanostructure obtained. This also to some extent is an answer why highly biocompatible and even bioactive biomaterials can combine apparently contradictory features such as biocompatibility, bioactivity and apatite formation and environmental friendliness with bacteriostatic and antibacterial properties.

Metal complexes play many roles in biological systems as catalysts, stimuli responsive centers and structural materials. Introduction of metals into synthetic biomaterials can result in similarly diverse functions, useful for imaging, degradation, and bioactivity. Biomaterials with single well-defined metal centers can result from the combination of coordination chemistry and controlled polymerizations. Efforts in our laboratory to adapt these reactions to bipyridine (bpy) and dibenzoylmethane (dbm) ligand and metal complex reagents, and to explore the ways that metals and polymers mutually affect each other are reviewed below, with poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(ethylenimine) (PEI), and selected acrylate systems, poly(t-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), as examples.

The ability of pectins to interact with other biomolecules confers great versatility as components of various composites for the design of matrix carriers of bioactive biomaterials. This is due to the diversity of functional groups present along their backbone and their polyanionic properties. These features allow one to control to some extent the t es of possible interactions and composites to create new materials based on pectin and other biomolecules, such as proteins and lipids. The various composite structures offer new properties, which enables a variety of applications in the fields of food and pharmaceuticals, especially for the new trends in controlled release of drugs and bioactive molecules.
