This book is written for students who want a working knowledge in
the field of implant materials. Obviously, the interdisciplinary
nature of this subject has been a major obstacle in writing a book
of this nature. In writing this book, I have attempted to cover
both biological and nonbiological (man-made) materials for obvious
reasons. Hence, this book can be divided into three parts-man-made
materials, biological materials, and implant materials. The
fundamental structure-property relationship is dealt with in the
beginning, followed by the biological materials. Implant materials
or biomaterials as such are not greatly different from other
man-made materials. Therefore, their acceptability in the body is
emphasized. In addition, the reasons for a particular implant
design and its material selection have been given special
attention. An effort is made to convert all the units into SI units
although one or 10 two exceptions are made such as A (= 10- m).
Also some abbreviations such as vlo (volume %) and wlo (weight %)
are used for brevity. To cover the wide range of subjects dealt
with in this book, I have used countless original and review
articles as well as my own research proposals. A conscientious
effort has been made to give credit to the original sources. Credit
is given in the captions ofthe illustrations. For the occasional
oversight of some tables and figures which could not be traced, the
author offers his apologies.
