With the decade-long desire for optimum performance using
biomaterials without additional surgery, replacement or
maintenance, a desperate search is underway for tailoring the
physical and physico-chemical properties of the materials surface
and the biosystem.
This is the first book to concentrate on the highly important area
of metal-based implants and their improved functionality and
acceptance by the body. It thus focuses on the properties of
biomaterial-tissue interfaces, which are discussed in terms of the
biomaterials and the specific biological environments they are used
in. Strong emphasis is placed on the recent results and success in
improving the interface characterization towards implant
refinement.
