The biomaterial application products are made of artificially synthesized materials or materials extracted from biological organisms, with medical applications that include implantation in or replacement of parts of a living system and the direct contact with a living tissue in the medical treatment. Generally, the systematic or pharmacological non-biological materials are designed to function within the biological system. For example, the biomaterial application products includes artificial joints, vascular stents, contact lenses, collagen to even drug delivery wrapping materials (as shown in Figure 1)....
