:''Bio-based material'' and ''biomaterial'' are used differently in practice. The meaning of bio-based material is clear; biomaterial is commonly used in biomedical engineering for materials that are 'bio-compatable' but not necessarily 'bio-based'. I think a biomedical engineer would call a plastic material used to make medical implants a biomaterial. I don't think the these terms are the best, but they are the terms we've got.

Revision as of 14:07, 4 September 2008
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
Proposed merges
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).
