Biomimetics, in general terms, aims at understanding biological
principles and applying them for the development of man-made
tools
and technologies. This approach is particularly important for the
purposeful design of passive as well as functional biomaterials
that mimic
physicochemical, mechanical and biological properties of natural
materials, making them suitable, for example, for biomedical
devices or
as scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
The book comprehensively covers biomimetic approaches to the
development of biomaterials, including: an overview of naturally
occurring
or nature inspired biomaterials; an in-depth treatment of the
surface aspects pivotal for the functionality; synthesis and
self-assembly
methods to prepare devices to be used in mineralized tissues such
as bone and teeth; and preparation of biomaterials for the
controlled/
sustained release of bioactive agents. The last part reviews the
applications of bioinspired materials and principles of design in
regenerative
medicine such as in-situ grown bone or cartilage as well as the
biomimetic techniques for soft tissue engineering.
The comprehensive scope of this book makes it a must-have addition
to the bookshelf of everyone in the fields of Materials
Science/Engineering, Nanotechnologies / Nanosciences, Medical
Sciences, Biochemistry, Polymer Chemistry, and Biomedical
Engineering.
