The only book to cover adhesion in pharmaceutical, biomedical and
dental fields The phenomenon of adhesion is of cardinal importance
in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental fields. A few eclectic
examples will suffice to underscore the importance/relevance of
adhesion in these three areas. For example, the adhesion between
powdered solids is of crucial importance in tablet manufacture. The
interaction between biodevices (e.g., stents, bio-implants) and
body environment dictates the performance of such devices, and
there is burgeoning research activity in modifying the surfaces of
such implements to render them compatible with bodily components.
In the field of dentistry, the modern trend is to shift from
retaining of restorative materials by mechanical interlocking to
adhesive bonding. The book contains 15 chapters written by
internationally-renowned subject matter experts and is divided into
four parts: Part 1: General Topics; Part 2: Adhesion in
Pharmaceutical Field; Part 3: Adhesion in Biomedical Field; and
Part 4: Adhesion in Dental Field. The topics covered include:
Theories or mechanisms of adhesion; wettability of powders; role of
surface free energy in tablet strength and powder flow behavior;
mucoadhesive polymers for drug delivery systems; transdermal
patches; skin adhesion in long-wear cosmetics; factors affecting
microbial adhesion; biofouling and ways to mitigate it; adhesion of
coatings on surgical tools and bio-implants; adhesion in
fabrication of microarrays in clinical diagnostics; antibacterial
polymers for dental adhesives and composites; evolution of dental
adhesives; and testing of dental adhesive joints. Audience This
book will be of great interest and considerable importance in
materials science, physics and chemistry and R&D personnel in
pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental arenas as well as practicing
doctors and advanced graduate students carrying out research in
these three disciplines.
