I'd like to add some more specifics to the applications sections. giving interesting examples and links to relvant pages. MichChemGSI ( talk) 15:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
The term "biomaterials" is used frequently by research scientists. Could someone please post a disambiguation for this term? --Aciel
This page cannot just exist as a disambiguation. I'll work on this. -- User:CapFan —Preceding comment was added at 22:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
There we go - made some slight changes!-- User:CapFan —Preceding comment was added at 23:09, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I have put together the article so far, but am still working on it to try and improve its quality and add more details, so what you see is pretty much a "still in progress" version. -- User:CapFan
I propose we merge bio-based material and biotic material into biomaterial, and then rename the resultant article " Uses of organic matter", as part of a major reshuffle of articles. Please feel free to join in the discussion here. Thanks :) Anxietycello ( talk) 02:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC).
The biomaterials science section could split out in to a separate article so this one can concentrate on the materials themselves. Rod57 ( talk) 14:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
D Williams recenty suggested a new definition of a biomaterial:
A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure, in human or veterinary medicine.

The lead section (above the outline) does not state what biomaterials are, summarize the article, or explain the considerable notability and importance of the subject, as laid out in WP:LEAD. I can't work on it myself for the next few days, so in the meanwhile I'm tagging it with a rewrite template in case anyone else wants to take a shot. Vonschlesien ( talk) 21:55, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
