Design, preparation, and functionalization of nanobiomaterials for enhanced efficacy in current and future biomedical applications

Abstract

Biocompatible, attuned, and congruent stimuli-responsive polymers of synthetic and plants and animals-based origins are essential raw materials for constructing bio-matching scaffolds, devices, and vehicles for payload deliveries, tissue engineering, therapeutics, and diagnostic purposes, and also as fill-in materials at biosites for various biomimetic applications. The nanobiomaterials for nanobiotechnology, nanopharmaceuticals, and nanobioengineering requires to have fit-in intrinsic chemical, physical, physico-chemical, mechanical, biological, and chemo-biological characteristics. The developed nanomaterials are also required to be receptive and biomimicking in quality, and they must not be toxic at any stage of use or implantation, minimally or of zero order degradation together with aging and use-related degradation, and last a life-time. The biomaterial at the upgraded scale needs to possess intricate characteristics equivalent to the biological materials, and compatible to the biological-sites during transportation, delivery, and site-unloading, and use. Recent developments in nanobiomaterial substrate designs and structure, characteristics, design requirements, chemo-biological interface related bio-systems response-compatibility, biomaterial synchronized, contemporaneous, and evolving applications in health care, therapeutics, nanomedicine, bio-hazard prevention, toxicity and ways of toxicity-control are outlined. The structure-function relationship, scope and limitations, structural and functional classes, and diversified biological outreach are discussed.
