Citations needed date November 2007 Biotic material or biological derived material is any material that originates from living organisms. Most such materials contain carbon and are capable of decay. Examples of biotic materials are wood , linoleum , straw , humus , manure , bark , crude oil , cotton , spider silk , chitin , fibrin , and bone . The use of biotic materials, and processed biotic materials bio based material as alternative natural materials , over synthetics is popular with those who are environmentally conscious because such materials are usually biodegradable, renewable, and the processing is commonly understood and has minimal environmental impact. However, not all biotic materials are environmentally friendly, such as those that require high levels of processing, are harvested unsustainably, or are used to produce greenhouse gasses carbon emission s. When the source of the recently living material has little importance to the product produced, such as in the production of biofuel s, biotic material is simply called biomass . Many fuel sources may have biological sources, and may be divided roughly into fossil fuels , and biofuel . In soil science , biotic material is often referred to as organic matter . Biotic materials in soil include glomalin , Dopplerite and humic acid . Some biotic material may not be considered to be organic matter if it is low in organic compounds , such as a clam s shell, which is an essential component of the living organism, but contains little organic carbon.

In surgery , a biocompatible material sometimes shortened to biomaterial is a synthetic or natural material used to replace part of a living system or to function in intimate contact with living biological tissue tissue . Biocompatible materials are intended to interface with biological systems to evaluate, treat, augment or replace any tissue, organ anatomy organ or function of the body. Biomaterials are usually viability non viable Disambiguation needed date February 2012 , but may also be viable. A biocompatible material is different from a biological material such as bone that is produced by a biological system . Artificial hip s, vascular stent s, artificial pacemaker s, and catheter s are all made from different biomaterials and comprise different medical devices . Biomimetic materials are not made by living organisms but have compositions and properties similar to those made by living organisms. The calcium hydroxylapatite coating found on many artificial hips is used as a bone replacement that allows for easier attachment of the Implant medicine implant to the living bone . Surface functionalization may provide a way to transform a bio inert material into a biomimetic or even bioactive material by coupling of protein layers to the surface , or coating the surface with self assembling peptide scaffolds to lend bioactivity and or cell attachment 3 D matrix. Different approaches to functionalization of biomaterials exist. Plasma processing has been successfully applied to chemically inert materials like polymer s or silicon to graft various functional group s to the surface of the implant. Polyanhydrides are polymers successfully used as a drug delivery materials. Care should be exercised in defining a biomaterial as biocompatible, since it is application specific.

Studying a culture s relationship to materiality is a lens through which social and cultural attitudes can be discussed.
