What are the Challenges Associated with Synthetic Biomaterials?
Despite their advantages, there are several challenges associated with the use of synthetic biomaterials:
1. Biocompatibility: Ensuring that the material interacts well with biological tissues without causing adverse reactions is crucial. 2. Degradation: Controlling the degradation rate of the material to match the tissue healing process can be challenging. 3. Mechanical Properties: Balancing the mechanical properties to match those of natural tissues while maintaining biocompatibility is a complex task.
