People need artificial organs if one of their organs function is not working.
Some of the latest research topics in material science: 1. Application of composites in aircraft structures 2. Design and production of corrosion resistant materials 3. Creating smart materials 4. Nanocomposites and nano-structures 5. Artificial organs and human structures development 6. Condensed matter physics 7. Carbon nanotubes

An organ transplant is when organs are taken out of human organ donors and placed into another human, but artificial organs are either grown in science labs from stem cells or electronic organs that are usually made of plastic or metal.
The paired organs which remove waste materials from the blood are called the kidneys.

For artificial limbs, there is often irritation or damage to soft tissue where the limb attaches to the existing bones and muscles. Cushioning and a proper fit reduce this problem. For artificial organs, tissue adjacent to the implants must be isolated from the devices by Teflon, plastics, or other non-degradable coatings, as otherwise the body will attack and corrode them. For transplanted organs, this is not possible, so anti-rejection drugs are administered to prevent the immune system from treating the organs as foreign bodies.
