Abstract

Smart materials have been revolutionizing the field of biomedical engineering due to their unique properties and capabilities. They are able to respond to various external stimuli such as temperature, pH, light, and magnetic fields, among others. In this review, we will discuss the current trends and future challenges in the use of smart materials in biomedical applications. We will focus on the different types of smart materials and their properties, as well as their potential applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensors, and medical devices. We will also discuss the challenges and limitations associated with the use of smart materials, such as biocompatibility, stability, and scalability. Finally, we will provide an outlook on the future of smart materials in biomedical applications and the potential impact on healthcare.
