This is certainly an exciting time for the field of advanced biomaterials. With
a record number of implant device surgeries, medical devices, and returning
function back to those who lost it due to disease or trauma, the biomedical
implant field is growing at an alarming rate — so fast, it is hard for many of
us to keep up.
This symposium brings a new concept to the TMS Annual Meeting as it covers
recent biomaterials and their properties that are used in the body as implants
to regain the function back to damaged or diseased tissues and organs. It
highlights how researchers and clinicians are pushing the envelope in tissue
regeneration as well as disease prevention, detection, and treatment. It covers
more traditional areas such as hip, craniofacial, and spinal implants but also
pushes us in new directions such as nanomedicine and implantable nanomaterials
and covers implants used for regaining functions in different organs in the
body. It covers biomaterial implants that can potentially determine changes in
tissue health and then respond to those changes to ensure strong healthy
tissues and organs. It also emphasizes novel solutions to traditionally
difficult tissue repair, such as meniscus repair and other organ tissue
regeneration strategies.
Most importantly, highlights the dynamic field of nanomedicine and
nanobiomaterials as it introduces new chemistries to tissue regeneration, such
as nanobiomaterials, biodegradable metals and new polymers. In every aspect of
tissue regeneration and nanomedicine, it critically evaluates where we are and
where we need to be.

Real time observations can provide important information needed to understand
materials behavior, as these techniques can provide temporal and spatial
insights free from artifacts otherwise induced from conventional experimental
techniques. Traditional and emerging advanced imaging techniques, which may be
optical or non-optical, would allow such observations. Methods may be enhanced
with capabilities that enable heating and cooling, controlled atmospheres, and
application of stresses; and can be used to generate real time thermodynamic
and kinetic data needed to study a variety of materials and processes. This
symposium encompasses a broad range of materials science topics enabling
cross-cutting opportunities for multiple disciplines (biomaterials, energy
materials, functional materials, structural materials, etc.) while topics will
be separately categorized in the technical program. Presentations are solicited
on the application of these methods to materials science and industrial
processes, as well as on development of such techniques.
Topics include, but not limited to:
• Studies using real time optical (e.g., visible light, white light, laser, IR,
and UV) and non-optical (e.g., scanning probe, electron, and ultrasound)
imaging techniques
• Researches using in-situ, in-operando, in-vitro, and in-vivo observation
imaging techniques, such as thermal imaging furnace and other real time imaging
methods
• Confocal techniques, including fluorescence and reflection types, which may
be equipped with capabilities such as heating/cooling chambers, gas chambers,
mechanical testing, Raman spectroscope, mass spectrometry, and FTIR
• Microscopic or telescopic imaging methods include hot thermocouple,
resistance heating, and sessile drop techniques used for high temperature
phenomena.

diagram constructions, oxidation/corrosion modeling, phase formation kinetics
studies, etc.

Experiments and Modeling symposium
Respective papers may participate in part of the dedicated joint session.
Biomaterials have been widely utilized in a variety of biomedical applications,
such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biosensors and medical
implants, due to their inherent physical and chemical properties including
biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties and biodegradability, and
hierarchical internal structures. Additive manufacturing, based on
layer-by-layer fabrication mechanism, possesses critical advantages in
fabrication of 3D structures of biomaterials for various biomedical
applications, including complex geometries, heterogeneity, porosities, and
incorporation of different growth factors. Typical 3D printing techniques used
for biomaterials include inkjet printing, microextrusion, laser-assisted
printing, stereolithography, to name a few. The most common biomaterials used
in 3D printing are ceramics, polymers, and composites. The post-printing
properties and microstructures are of great importance to the biomaterial
functionality, such as mechanical properties, physical properties including
swelling and degradation properties, pore size and porosity. The symposium
shall focus on the recent advances in the biomaterials for 3D printing of
scaffolds and tissues. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
� Design, fabrication and characterization of 3D scaffolds
� Characterization of post-printing properties of biomaterials
� Bioink rheological properties and printability
� Bioink formulation and characterization
� Modeling and simulation of biomaterial properties
� Fabrication of biomaterials-based heterogeneous structures

� Bioprinting of cellular structures and tissues
� Cell-biomaterial interaction
� Organ-on-chips
The symposium focuses on fundamental understanding of biological and biomimetic
solid interfaces as well as their implementation into engineering applications.
Interfacing biological molecules predic tably with solid materials at the
nanoscale is the key for hybrid materials design leading to innovative
functional properties. Exploiting such properties towards developing functional
materials and devices depends on a better understanding and control of the
interfacial interactions at the atomic to nanoscale.
This symposium will address the synthesis, modelling, and design principles of
the bionano interfaces and their implementation into practical medical and
technical applications such as tissue engineering, catalysis, sensors,
electronics, and photonics. While the solids may include metals, ceramics,
semiconductors, polymers, and their composites, the biopolymers include
proteins, peptides, DNA, RNA, polysaccharides, glycans, lipids and membranes as
well as cells and viruses.
A special emphasis will be given to the assembly processes at solid liquid
interfaces that lead to specific surface phenomena and designed bionano solid
self-assembled structures and organizations towards functional materials,
systems and devices.
The symposium will encompass the following themes, but are not limited to:
• Fundamentals on Bionano interfaces;
• Surface phenomena: Dynamic interfacial interactions;
• Abiotic and biotic interfaces;
• Biomolecular recognition in multi-scale materials, interfaces and emerging
applications;
• Supramolecular self assembled systems;
• Modelling the interactions at the bionano interfaces;
• Multiscale mechanobiology and Biomechanics;
• Nanoscale assembly rules and design criteria;
• New trends in surface characterization, in situ and ex situ
• Predictive modelling and machine learning on biodesign and bioevaluations;
• Biointerfaces and applications for sensing, electronics and photonics devices
• Emerging Opportunities by protein corona to address health and environmental
issues;
• Implementations in regenerative and restorative medicine
The interaction of materials and biological systems is a rapidly growing,
interdisciplinary frontier in materials science and engineering with boundless
possibilities. Biological materials science involves the application of
materials science and engineering principles to the study of biological
materials, including the design, synthesis, and fabrication of materials
systems from biological lessons. The Symposium on Biological Materials Science
emphasizes the primacy of biological materials to the development of
biomaterials and biomimetic materials. Biological materials comprise the
inorganic and organic constituents of biological systems, whereas biomaterials
are synthetic materials developed to replace, restore, or augment biological
materials. The structure and properties of biological materials exhibit a
breadth and complexity unmatched in current biomaterials. Biological materials
are formed under ambient conditions by living and adaptive biological systems
for multifunctional performance. The structure and properties of biological
materials are typically hierarchical, inhomogeneous, and anisotropic.
Therefore, biological materials exhibit complex structure-property
relationships which are only beginning to be elucidated. Biomimetic materials
(or bioinspired materials) have unique, tailored structures and properties
designed based on the study of structure-property relationships in biological
materials. Biomimetic materials most often utilize creative new methods of
synthesis/processing and microstructure design to achieve the desired
functionality.
Biological tissues and materials self-assembled in nature have complex,
hierarchical structures that can result in unique properties. These
structure-property relationships are a wealth of information for materials
scientists to explore for inspiration in designing the next generation of
materials. Biological tissues and materials are, however, not always static
entities. Often the dynamic structure is growing and/or adapting to the local
biological or mechanical environment. Materials science investigations can
offer great insight into how features in the multi-scale structure sense
mechanical forces and biochemically promote adaptation. Materials-specific
characterization techniques are then essential in quantifying the structure and
related properties particularly for disease-related structural and functional
modifications.
Topics that will be addressed:
Mechanics and physiological adaptation of soft and hard tissues
Role of the multi-scale structure in soft and hard tissue mechanics and
adaptation
Mechanobiology in tissues adaptation
Mechanochemically active synthetic biomaterials
Design of biomaterials to interact with tissue growth and adaptation
Natural fibers' abundance, excellent properties, biodegradability, and low cost
make this renewable resource a green alternative to synthetic fibers for
composite material reinforcement. There has been an increase in research and
industrial attention for using natural fibers since they can reduce the net CO2
footprint compared to traditional synthetic materials, given their carbon
dioxide absorption while growing. Biocomposite materials with natural fibers
are mainly developed with polymer matrices. The need to create sustainable
solutions and, more critically, biodegradable or biocompatible has promoted
applications in sports, transportation, armor, medicine, infrastructure,
construction and building materials, and architecture.
The purpose of this symposium is to promote the use of natural materials and
their composites as a possible strategy to increase environmental
sustainability, as well as to study materials fundamentals for new
applications. The main areas are shown below but are not limited to:
• Natural fibers, its properties, and fundamentals
• Surface modifications of natural fiber to improve properties
• Biocomposite materials and potential contributions to sustainability
• Durability, dynamic behavior, adhesion, impact response, mechanical, thermal,
and other important properties related to the natural materials and their
composites

Natural fibers are a renewable resource ready to be used in many new
applications due to their abundance worldwide, excellent properties, low cost,
and green solution. There has been an increasing interest in research and a
growing industrial sector, with a high potential to significantly reduce the
CO2 footprint of other traditional materials and processes. On the other hand,
there is an increasing development of composite materials with natural fibers,
using as a matrix polymers, ceramics, and biodegradable materials. The
applications include but are not limited to sports, transportation, armor,
medical, infrastructure, construction and building materials, and architecture.
In the last 10 years, hydrogels have moved from the laboratory space to the
engineering space, needing to be functionally designed as a component or main
material used in device design, from robotics to biomedicine. Important single
properties are studied in depth, such as toughness, biocompatibility,
lubrication, etc. However, integrated knowledge of how the structure drives
these properties in concert is still not well-studied enough to be predictive,
which is necessary for the exponential growth into real marketable products.
Because of this, I propose to bring a set of speakers who can provide specific
connections between hydrogel composition and control of surface mechanics, or
surface performance.
As with all materials, surfaces of hydrogels provide a boundary that is an
excellent diagnostic of material behavior that can be compressed, stretched, or
slid across in unique fashions. Thus this session is intended to focus on the
surfaces of these materials, and how the behavior can elucidate, and be
controlled by, the functional composition. While bulk properties or other
considerations like biocompatibility do a have a role in the holistic
assessment of these materials, the scope of this session focuses on the
manifestation of surface mechanics. Further, the scope is not intended to
include design of particular products from hydrogels, but rather fundamental
research.
This exciting topic is becoming more common at mechanics conferences, and it
provides an opportunity to move beyond phenomenological material behaviors of
hydrogel surfaces into mechanistic and theory-rich work which is driving the
field forward.
Real time observations can provide important information needed to understand
materials behavior, as these techniques can provide temporal and spatial
insights free from artifacts otherwise induced from conventional experimental
techniques. Traditional and emerging advanced imaging techniques, which may be
optical or non-optical, would allow such observations. Methods may be enhanced
with capabilities that enable heating and cooling, controlled atmospheres, and
application of stresses; and can be used to generate real time thermodynamic
and kinetic data needed to study a variety of materials and processes. This
symposium encompasses a broad range of materials science topics enabling
cross-cutting opportunities for multiple disciplines (biomaterials, energy
materials, functional materials, structural materials, etc.) while topics will
be separately categorized in the technical program. Presentations are solicited
on the application of these methods to materials science and industrial
processes, as well as on development of such techniques.
Topics include, but not limited to:
• Studies using real time optical (e.g., visible light, white light, laser, IR,
and UV) and non-optical (e.g., scanning probe, electron, and ultrasound)
imaging techniques
• Researches using in-situ, in-operando, in-vitro, and in-vivo observation
imaging techniques, such as thermal imaging furnace and other real time imaging
methods
• Confocal techniques, including fluorescence and reflection types, which may
be equipped with capabilities such as heating/cooling chambers, gas chambers,
mechanical testing, Raman spectroscope, mass spectrometry, and FTIR
• Microscopic or telescopic imaging methods include hot thermocouple,
resistance heating, and sessile drop techniques used for high temperature
phenomena.
• Thermodynamic and kinetic data from these techniques, useful for phase
diagram constructions, oxidation/corrosion modeling, phase formation kinetics
studies, etc.
• Work using high speed and slow speed cameras
• Materials used in manufacturing real time imaging devices
• Novel technologies and methodologies for emerging imaging devices
The symposium plans to have joint sessions with:
• The Bio-Nano Interfaces and Engineering Applications symposium
• The Mechanical Response of Materials Investigated through Novel In-situ
Experiments and Modeling symposium
Respective papers may participate in part of the dedicated sessions.
Biomaterials have been widely utilized in a variety of biomedical applications,
such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biosensors and medical
implants, due to their inherent physical and chemical properties including
biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties and biodegradability, and
hierarchical internal structures. Additive manufacturing, based on
layer-by-layer fabrication mechanism, possesses critical advantages in
fabrication of 3D structures of biomaterials for various biomedical
applications, including complex geometries, heterogeneity, porosities, and
incorporation of different growth factors. Typical 3D printing techniques used
for biomaterials include inkjet printing, microextrusion, laser-assisted
printing, stereolithography, to name a few. The most common biomaterials used
in 3D printing are ceramics, polymers, and composites. The post-printing
properties and microstructures are of great importance to the biomaterial
functionality, such as mechanical properties, physical properties including
swelling and degradation properties, pore size and porosity. The symposium
shall focus on the recent advances in the biomaterials for 3D printing of
scaffolds and tissues. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
•Design, fabrication and characterization of 3D tissue-engineered scaffolds
•Characterization of post-printing properties of biomaterials
•Modeling and simulation of biomaterial properties
•Fabrication of biomaterials-based heterogeneous structures
•Novel biomaterials and 3D printing techniques for scaffold fabrication
•Bioprinting of cellular structures and tissues
•Cell-biomaterial interaction
•Bioink rheological properties and printability
•Organ-on-chips
The interaction of materials and biological systems is a rapidly growing,
interdisciplinary frontier in materials science and engineering with boundless
possibilities. Biological materials science involves the application of
materials science and engineering principles to the study of biological
materials, including the design, synthesis, and fabrication of materials
systems from biological lessons. The Symposium on Biological Materials Science
emphasizes the primacy of biological materials to the development of
biomaterials and biomimetic materials. Biological materials comprise the
inorganic and organic constituents of biological systems, whereas biomaterials
are synthetic materials developed to replace, restore or augment biological
materials. The structure and properties of biological materials exhibit a
breadth and complexity unmatched in current biomaterials. Biological materials
are formed under ambient conditions by living and adaptive biological systems
for multifunctional performance. The structure and properties of biological
materials are typically hierarchical, inhomogeneous, and anisotropic.
Therefore, biological materials exhibit complex structure-property
relationships which are only beginning to be elucidated. Biomimetic materials
(or bioinspired materials) have unique, tailored structures and properties
designed based upon the study of structure-property relationships in biological
materials. Biomimetic materials most often utilize creative new methods of
synthesis/processing and microstructure design in order to achieve the desired
functionality.
The symposium will encompass the following themes:
- Biological and natural materials (hard and soft tissues) - Biomaterials
(implants and devices)
- Biomimetic and bioinspired materials
- Bioenabled materials and systems
- Biorelated applications
In addition, two poster sessions are proposed:
- Biological Materials Science Poster Session
- Biological Materials Science Student Poster Contest
The symposium focuses on fundamental understanding of biological and biomimetic
solid interfaces as well as their implementation into engineering applications.
Interfacing biological molecules predictably with solid materials at the
nanoscale is the key for hybrid materials design leading to innovative
functional properties. Exploiting such properties towards developing functional
materials and devices depends on a better understanding and contro l of the
interfacial interactions at the atomic to nanoscale.
This symposium will address the synthesis, modelling and design principles of
the bionano interfaces and their implementation into practical medical and
technical applications such as tissue engineering, catalysis, sensors,
electronics, and photonics. While the solids may include metals, ceramics,
semiconductors, polymers, and their composites, the biopolymers include
proteins, peptides, DNA, RNA, polysaccharides, glycans, lipids and membranes as
well as cells and viruses.
A special emphasis will be given to the assembly processes at solid-liquid
interfaces that lead to specific surface phenomena and designed bionano solid
self-assembled structures and organizations towards functional materials,
systems and devices.
The symposium will encompass the following themes, but are not limited to:
- Fundamentals on Bionano interfaces;
- Surface phenomena: Dynamic interfacial interactions;
- Abiotic and biotic interfaces;
- Biomolecular recognition of solids;
- Supramolecular self assembled systems;
- Modelling the interactions at the bionano interfaces;
- Multiscale mechanobiology and Biomechanics;
- Nanoscale assembly rules and design criteria;
- New trends in surface characterization, in situ and ex situ;
- Machine learning and predictive modelling approaches on biodesign and
bioevaluations;
- Biointerfaces and applications for sensing, electronics and photonics devices
- Protein corona effect on nanomaterials surfaces; Modulating toxicology
- Bio-nano-material-tissue interfaces
- Implementations in regenerative and restorative medicine

To mitigate the long-term side effects associated with current
corrosion-resistant implants, a new generation of bioabsorbable medical devices
is currently being developed. Implants made of biodegradable materials are
absorbed and excreted by the body after completing their temporary mechanical,
scaffolding and biointegration functioning. Biochemical and mechanical
attributes of all classes of materials including metals, ceramics and polymers
are broadly explored by the scientific and industrial research and development
laboratories for various clinical applications over the last two decades. The
symposium will address this emerging multi-disciplinary field involving
materials scientists and engineers working with biologists and medical
personnel. Papers will be presented on all aspects relating to
biodegradable-based implants including vascular, orthopedic, dental, tissue
engineering, wound closure and other applications. This covers – but is not
limited to �– materials selection/development and their processing, surface
treatments and modifications, in-vitro/in-vivo performance assessment and
evaluation, as well as product design and certification.
