Research on biomaterials has been growing in the past 10 years due
to the clinical needs in organ and tissue replacement and
regeneration. Bioceramics are suitable candidates for many clinical
applications, such as bone-like scaffolds, and bone regeneration
materials. They include calcium phosphates, silica-based ceramics,
such as bioglasses and mesoporous silica, carbon-based materials
such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, and alumina, zirconia, and
silicon nitride. Their clinical applications include orthopaedics
(artificial hips, knees, elbows etc) dental implants, bone plates
and screws, bone cements, anti-fouling surfaces, drug-delivery
systems, and cancer therapy.This book provides important
information concerning the synthesis and characterisation of
bioceramics, and will be useful for all researchers involved in
this field. The contents cover bioceramics, biomimetism, bioactive
ceramics, and inert ceramics. The authors will pay special
attention to explain the relationship between the synthesis
processes and the subsequent clinical applications.Written by Maria
Vallet-Regi and a small team of authors based at the Universidad
Complutense de Madrid, Spain, the book provides a cohesive,
structured account of the advances and new applications of
bioceramics in the clinical world.
