Introduction

This book presents the latest advances in intelligent biomaterials, a fast developing area for disease diagnosis and treatments, health management and rehabilitations.

In particular, this book focuses on versatile types of emerging intelligent biomaterials as well as their multiple roles in smart biosensors, tissue engineering, medical meta-data analysis, micro/nanorobotics and artificial intelligence-based theranostics.

These state-of-the-art technologies and updated knowledge are expected to reshape the future trend of biomaterials, and more importantly integrate biomaterials and intelligence together as a single entity to serve human health improvements.

On this basis, this book aims to elucidate the concept and domain of intelligent biomaterials, and discuss on their cutting-edge applications.

It will provide a vast readership, including students, scientists, researchers and professional staff in the trans-disciplinary community, with a brand-new viewpoint to learn about the frontiers of intelligent biomaterials.
