Abstract

In the Biomedical engineering domain, the use of smart biomaterials has a huge impact. These biomaterials own different features that respond to the surrounding changes, allowing them to be used in various biomedical therapeutic applications. They are sensitive to external stimulations like temperature, light, pH, magnetic and electric fields, etc. Also, these materials are biocompatible, biodegradable, and less expensive. The development, analysis, and synthesis of these materials have shown notable progress in biomedical applications in the past few decades. These SMART materials are used to develop wound healing scaffolds, drug delivery systems, and implants. SMART materials have huge opportunities for changing biological applications. In this book chapter, we will briefly discuss various SMART materials, their advancement in the biomedical engineering domain, applications of these materials with 3D and 4D bioprinting, the challenges, and prospects. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
