Description
The second edition of this bestselling title provides the most up-to-date comprehensive review of all aspects of biomaterials science
by providing a balanced, insightful approach to learning biomaterials. This reference integrates a historical perspective of materials
engineering principles with biological interactions of biomaterials. Also provided within are regulatory and ethical issues in addition
to future directions of the field, and a state-of-the-art update of medical and biotechnological applications.
All aspects of biomaterials
science are thoroughly addressed, from tissue engineering to cochlear prostheses and drug delivery systems. Over 80 contributors from
academia, government and industry detail the principles of cell biology, immunology, and pathology. Focus within pertains to the clinical
uses of biomaterials as components in implants, devices, and artificial organs. This reference also touches upon their uses in biotechnology
as well as the characterization of the physical, chemical, biochemical and surface properties of these materials.
Audience
Biomaterials Engineers, Materials Scientists and Engineers, Clinical Enginners
