What are the Challenges in Developing Smart Biomaterials?
Despite their potential, several challenges remain:
- Scalability: Producing nanoscale materials in large quantities can be difficult and costly. - Regulatory Hurdles: Ensuring the safety and efficacy of nanomaterials requires rigorous testing and regulatory approval. - Biodegradability: Designing materials that degrade safely within the body without causing harm is essential. - Complexity: The complexity of biological systems means that predicting the behavior of smart biomaterials can be challenging.
