For medical devices that must be placed inside the body, the right
choice of material is the most important aspect of design. To
ensure such devices are safe, reliable, economical, and
biologically and physiologically compatible, the modern biomedical
engineer must have a broad knowledge of currently available
materials and the properties that affect their in-service
performance. In chapters drawn from the third edition of the
best-selling Biomedical Engineering Handbook, Biomaterials surveys
the wide variety of biomaterials in present use as well as
materials resulting from novel micro- and nanoscale technologies.
The book includes a general overview of bioinert, bioactive or
surface reactive ceramics, and biodegradable or re-absorbable
bioceramics. It reviews basic chemical and physical properties of
the synthetic polymers, covers the sterilization of the polymeric
biomaterials, discusses the importance of the surface treatment for
improving biocompatibility, and examines the application of the
chemogradient surface for the study on cell polymer interactions.
The book also provides an overview of the chemistry design,
fabrication, and application of biodegradable hydrogels for drug
delivery and tissue engineering. It explores current issues
involved in probing cell-biomaterials interactions on the molecular
level and their implications for tissue engineering research and
examines advances in biodegradable polymeric materials, soft and
hard tissue replacements, and applications in tissue engineering.
Taking a focuses look at the latest advances in biomaterials, the
book discusses metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite
biomaterials. With more than 100 figures and tables, as well as
contributions from a panel of international experts, the book gives
you familiarity with the uses of biomaterials in medicine and
dentistry
