Summary
Biomaterials are essential in modern medicine, driving advancements in tissue engineering (TE), drug delivery, and medical devices. This review explores the intersection of biomaterials and sustainability, highlighting efforts to develop environmentally friendly materials through advanced technology. It examines key biomaterial characteristics for example biodegradability, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility, and discusses the influence of polymers on medical technology. From inert substances to bioactive materials, biomaterials have evolved to elicit biological responses. Notably, 3D-printed biomaterials are revolutionizing implant development with their customization and tissue facilitation advantages. The emergence of production-on-demand (POD) in 3D printing promises environmenta
