This book is written for those who would like to advance their
knowledge beyond an introductory level of biomaterials or materials
science and engineering. This requires one to understand more fully
the science of materials, which is, of course, the foundation of
biomaterials. The subject matter of this book may be divided into
three parts: (1) fundamental structure-property relationships of
man-made materials (Chapters 2-5) and natural biological materials,
including biocompatibility (Chapters 6 and 7); (2) metallic,
ceramic, and polymeric implant materials (Chapters 8-10); and (3)
actual prostheses (Chapters 11 and 12). This manuscript was
initially organized at Clemson University as classnotes for an
introductory graduate course on biomaterials. Since then it has
been revised and corrected many times based on experience with
graduate students at Clemson and at Tulane University, where I
taught for two years, 1981-1983, before joining the University of
Iowa. I would like to thank the many people who helped me to finish
this book; my son Y oon Ho, who typed all of the manuscript into
the Apple Pie word processor; my former graduate students, M.
Ackley Loony, W. Barb, D. N. Bingham, D. R. Clarke, J. P. Davies,
M. F. DeMane, B. J. Kelly, K. W. Markgraf, N. N. Salman, W. J.
Whatley, and S. o. Young; and my colleagues, Drs. W. Cooke, D. D.
Moyle (Clemson G. H. Kenner (University of Utah), F. University),
W. C. Van Buskirk (Tulane University), and Y.
