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
2
-Chitosan, TiO
2
-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.
