This new work is dedicated to glasses and their variants which
can be used as biomaterials to repair diseased and damaged tissues.
Bio-glasses are superior to other biomaterials in many
applications, such as healing bone by signaling stem cells to
become bone cells.
Key features: First book on biomaterials to focus on
bio-glassesEdited by a leading authority on bio-glasses trained by
one of its inventors, Dr Larry HenchSupported by the International
Commission on Glass (ICG)Authored by members of the ICG Biomedical
Glass Committee, with the goal of creating a seamless
textbookWritten in an accessible style to facilitate rapid
absorption of informationCovers all types of glasses, their
properties and applications, and demonstrates how glass is an
attractive improvement to current proceduresOf interest to the
biomedical as well as the materials science community.
The book covers all types of glasses: traditional glasses,
bioactive glasses, sol-gel glasses, phosphate glasses,
glass-ceramics, composites and hybrids. Alongside discussion on how
bio-glasses are made, their properties, and the reasons for their
use, the authors also cover their applications in dentistry, bone
regeneration and tissue engineering and cancer treatment. Its solid
guidance describes the steps needed to take a new material from
concept to clinic, covering the essentials of patenting, scale-up,
quality assurance and FDA approval.
