Tissues developing semisynthetic

One of the most exciting fields of research involves the study of composites, materials with two or more components with properties different from those of the components. Composites have revolutionized fields as diverse as sports and recreation and air transportation and military equipment. Another active field of research focuses on biomaterials, synthetic or semisynthetic products that have applications in living systems. Today researchers are developing artificial skin, blood, nerves, and other body components that can be used for the repair of damaged tissues. Nanotechnology is perhaps the most revolutionary of all areas of materials research. The subject deals with components of very small dimensions, comparable to those of atoms and molecules. Smart materials are yet another topic of...
