Abstract

Abstract:

Inorganic non-metallic biomaterial is one of main types of biomaterials, which is widely used in biomedical fields such as tissue repair, tumor therapy, and drug delivery., making an important contribution to national life and health. Research on inorganic non-metallic biomaterials in China is flourishing, but their production and application are still in the stage of overcoming difficulties. To realize the high-quality development of China's inorganic non-metallic biomaterials and improve their hard power to protect national life and health, this paper analyzes hotspots and difficult problems in research and application of China's inorganic non-metallic biomaterials by means of strategic study. Based on current development opportunities and challenges, some suggestions are proposed for the development of inorganic non-metallic biomaterials, such as material design for unique performance, research on materiobiology, exploration of new principles and mechanisms mediated by materials, customization by intelligent personalization, design through big data screening and artificial intelligence, and standardization based evaluation/regulation. This aims to provide guidance for development of inorganic non-metallic biomedical products and push forward scientific research while accumulating talent resources.
