Smart and intelligent biomaterials for novel applications – a review

Abstract

Intelligent materials are used to create novel biomaterials that can recognize and respond to environmental cues, as well as perform specific tasks for modern medicine and sustainability. There are a wide range of applications for intelligent biomaterials, from ecological restoration to health. In reaction to physical, chemical, and biological stimuli, intelligent biomaterials can change their properties. Hydrogels have garnered a lot of attention and the incorporation of decellularized tissues into the hydrogel synthesis process exhibits a number of benefits. The development of smart/intelligent response polymeric biomaterials for novel biomedical applications is the focus of this review.
