About the database
Biomaterials are usually defined as synthetic or natural materials that are used for artificial organs, prostheses or for replacing tissue. Research and development in the field of material science, and in particular synthetic polymers and ceramics, has led to the production of thousands of novel biomaterials, which might revolutionise medical devices and advanced therapies.
The EU has continuously funded biomaterial research projects in the last 25 years, resulting in increased output in the form of publications, patents and clinical trials. One of the main challenges is to provide accessible and well-structured data of biomaterials for researchers, companies, and laboratories. Besides the metadata of biomaterials and its properties, data on its biocompatibility, performance and safety are very important as well.
