Abstract

Biomaterials are materials intended to interact with biological systems for the purposes of treatment, enhancement, or replacement of biological functions defined as material used in medical devices. Biomaterials in tissue engineering have been studied many years, and their level of innovation has increased significantly recently. In the field of tissue engineering, a wide range of biomaterial has been shown to be effective in combination with naturally derived and synthetic polymers. All biomaterials shall satisfy several criteria, e.g. adequate strength, high corrosion resistance, bio-adhesion, biocompatibility, high durability, and lower friction coefficients. To analyse the properties of biomaterials, various characterization techniques are used. Characterizing biomaterials for tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary endeavour that relies on various tools and techniques, encompassing chemical, physical, mechanical, and biological aspects. This review outlines key characterization techniques available to researchers, considering the latest developments and challenges in tissue engineering. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding for researchers in this field, facilitating the recognition of existing instruments and techniques for developing and discovering new materials, thereby expanding their applications in tissue engineering. The review also includes an examination of literature, presenting main results from the characterization of diverse biomaterials in tabular form.
