Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Type of biocomposites - a material which consists of voids/pores.
Bioactive Materials

Biomaterials
Biosensor
2. It is an analytical device for the detection of an analyte that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector.
Polynucleotides
Bioceramics
Biopolymers
Biosensor
3. Materials that upon placement within the human body starts to dissolve (resorbed) and slowly replaced by advancing tissue (such as bone) i.e. tricalcium phosphate - polylactic- polyglycolic acid copolymers
Biocomposites
Bioresorbable Materials
Biomaterials
Porous Materials
4. A type of biopolymer with long polymers composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers.
Membrane Lamination
Bioactive Materials
Polynucleotides
Bioinert Materials
5. These are used in artificial hip joints - dental implants - bone plates and screws - heart pacemakers - stents - and other medical devices.
Metallic Biomaterials
Biosensor
Porous Materials
Polysaccharides
6. This involves the use of a binder or by using the thermal method to fuse the fibers together.
Membrane Lamination
Biosensor
Biominerals
Fiber Bonding
7. This type of biomaterial processing is only useful if it preserves the uniform porous structure of the original membranes.
Biosensor
Biopolymers
Membrane Lamination
Bioactive Materials
8. They are materials formed by a matrix (resin) and a reinforcement of natural fibers (usually derived from plants or cellulose).
Biosensor
Bioinert Materials
Bioceramics
Biocomposites
9. Also known as hard materials and it usually has a mechanical function - being strong - hard materials which use less energy for an organism to produce than an equally strong organic material.
Bioinert Materials
Biominerals
Polysaccharides
Polypeptides
10. It is any material that - once placed in the human body - has minimal interaction with its surrounding tissue.
Particulate Composites
Biocomposites
Biominerals
Bioinert Materials
11. It is any substance (other than drugs) or combination of substances synthetic or natural in origin. It can be derived either from nature or synthesized in the laboratory using a variety of chemical approaches utilizing metallic components or ceramics
