About

Biomaterials is defined as natural or synthetic materials used to perform, treat or support the functions of organs or tissues in the human body. Biomaterial science utilizes many branches of science such as chemistry, physics, molecular biology, mechanic, electronic, textile, medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, tissue engineering, and has become one of the developing sub-branches of material science and engineering in the 21st century.

Our group consisting of academicians, graduate students and private sector employees from different disciplines, carry out graduate thesis, scientific research projects, prototype designs at TRL of 5-6 and national/international patent applications on the production of polymer-based biomaterials for medical area since 2009.

The purpose and motivation of our group are to perform the design, production and characterization of innovative and original biomaterials for applications in the medical fieldby by using basic sciences, engineering methods and advanced technologies, and to create the first examples in terms of both literature and commercial use.

The studies conducted by the Biomaterials Research Group members have focused on natural and synthetic polymers, biodegradable polymers, biopolymers, polymeric biomaterials, nanofibers, nanocomposite materials, medical textiles, wound dressings, adhesion barriers, meshes, sutures, biosensors, drug transport systems, affinity columns, cryogels, hydrogels.
