T

he biomaterials with unique physicochemical behaviors are currently attracted for different biomedical applications such as

surgical materials, implants and replacement devices. An increasing demand for newer surgical implants in prosthetic and

orthopedic applications requires engineering of nanostructured materials with enhanced biological properties. The high purity

nanobiomaterials like titania nanocomposites (TiO

-Chitosan, TiO

-Graphene, etc.), metal oxides doped hydroxyapatite (nano

silicon doped HAp), nanobioactive glass composites (NBG glasses) etc., are synthesized over wide range of compositions using

conventional methods. Comprehensive characterizations of the prepared nanobiomaterials are used to explore the properties

like mechanical strength, anticorrosive, antimicrobial, biocompatibility,

in vitro

bioactivity, etc., and to confer the optimized

composition, to meet out the demand exist in biomedical field. The toxicological behavior of the prepared nanocomposites

is assessed through

in vitro

studies using simulated body fluid and animal cell lines, while the in vivo studies using zebrafish.

The optimized concentration of nanobiomaterials is further coated on commercial implants namely stainless steel (SS304)

and Ti alloy to validate their efficiency in conferring the properties like anticorrosive and antimicrobial, biocompatibility and

bioresorbability. Similarly, the nanocomposite materials are used as dental fillers and dental carries prevention applications.

The obtained results reveal the promising applications of these nano biomaterials as potential candidate in tissue engineering

and bone regenerative applications.
