Overview of plant-derived biomaterials

Abstract

Humans have been using plant-derived biomaterials throughout the history and they have an important place in today’s daily life. They have a wide range of uses, from biotechnological to medical purposes. Plant-derived biomaterials possess various implementation in many fields including food industry, health care, biomedical science, cosmetics, energy science, environmental health and drug-gene delivery. Biomaterials have evolved to tissue-specific smart polymers since their discovery. Many biotechnological applications have allowed the production of biomaterials with different structures and shapes. Furthermore, latest studies demonstrated that constitutive organization and surface topographies of plants might also be beneficial for many biomaterial production processes. In this article, the history, classification, properties and application areas of biomaterials are explained by supporting studies. As a conclusion, it is inescapable for scientists to realise that plants are affordable, maintainable and regenerative platforms, and thus, they are optimal resources for generation of organic biomaterials. In this review, important current developments in the field of plant-derived biomaterials are also discussed.
