A practical road map to the key families of biomaterials and their
potential applications in clinical therapeutics, Introduction to
Biomaterials, Second Edition follows the entire path of development
from theory to lab to practical application. It highlights new
biocompatibility issues, metrics, and statistics as well as new
legislation for intellectual property. Divided into four sections
(Biology, Biomechanics, Biomaterials Interactions; Biomaterials
Testing, Statistics, Regulatory Considerations, Intellectual
Property; Biomaterials Compositions; and Biomaterials
Applications), this dramatically revised edition includes both new
and revised chapters on cells, tissues, and signaling molecules in
wound healing cascades, as well as two revised chapters on
standardized materials testing with in vitro and in vivo paradigms
consistent with regulatory guidelines. Emphasizing biocompatibility
at the biomaterial-host interface, it investigates cell-cell
interactions, cell-signaling and the inflammatory and complement
cascades, specific interactions of protein-adsorbed materials, and
other inherent biological constraints including solid-liquid
interfaces, diffusion, and protein types. Unique in its inclusion
of the practicalities of biomaterials as an industry, the book also
covers the basic principles of statistics, new U.S. FDA information
on the biomaterials-biology issues relevant to patent applications,
and considerations of intellectual property and patent disclosure.
With nine completely new chapters and 24 chapters extensively
updated and revised with new accomplishments and contemporary data,
this comprehensive introduction discusses 13 important classes of
biomaterials, their fundamental and applied research, practical
applications, performance properties, synthesis and testing,
potential future applications, and commonly matched clinical
applications. The authors include extensive references, to create a
comprehensive, yet manageable didactic work that is an invaluable
desk references and instructional text for undergraduates and
working professionals alike.
