Composites are composed of two or more materials, displaying enhanced performance and superior mechanical properties when compared to their individual components. The use of biocompatible materials has created a new category of biocomposites. Biocomposites can be applied to living tissues due to low toxicity, biodegradability and high biocompatibility. This review summarizes recent applications of biocomposite materials in the field of biomedical engineering, focusing on four areas-bone regeneration, orthopedic/dental implants, wound healing and tissue engineering.
复合材料由两种或更多种材料组成，与它们各自的组成部分相比，具有增强的性能和更优异的机械性能。生物相容性材料的使用创造了一类新的生物复合材料。由于低毒性、可生物降解性和高生物相容性，生物复合材料可应用于活体组织。本文综述了生物复合材料在生物医学工程领域的最新应用，重点介绍了四个领域——骨再生、骨科/牙科植入物、伤口愈合和组织工程。
