Utilizing Zeolite materials in Biomedical applications

Zeolites have crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates made up of three-dimensional silicate and aluminum tetrahedra frameworks joined by shared oxygen atoms. They are used in a variety of industrial applications to separate and sort molecules based on their crystalline size dimensions, including adsorbents, catalysts, ion exchangers, as well as molecular sieves. Zeolite materials are becoming increasingly valuable in a range of biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems, wound healing, scaffolds in tissue engineering, antibacterial as well as antimicrobial applications, implant coatings, contrast agents, removal of harmful ions from the body, gas absorption, hemodialysis, and tooth root filling, due to their exceptional chemical and physical properties, including their porosity, ion exchange capacity, water absorption, immunomodulatory as well as antioxidative qualities, biocompatibility, as well as long-lasting chemical and biological stability. The review paper highlights the biomaterial features of zeolites and explores the most recent developments in their applications in biomedical domains, specifically in tissue engineering, drug transport, as well as regenerative medicine.
