This book reviews the current understanding of the mechanical,
chemical and biological processes that are responsible for the
degradation of a variety of implant materials. All 18 chapters will
be written by internationally renowned experts to address both
fundamental and practical aspects of research into the field.
Different failure mechanisms such as corrosion, fatigue, and wear
will be reviewed, together with experimental techniques for
monitoring them, either in vitro or in vivo. Procedures for implant
retrieval and analysis will be presented. A variety of biomaterials
(stainless steels, titanium and its alloys, nitinol, magnesium
alloys, polyethylene, biodegradable polymers, silicone gel,
hydrogels, calcium phosphates) and medical devices (orthopedic and
dental implants, stents, heart valves, breast implants) will be
analyzed in detail. The book will serve as a broad reference source
for graduate students and researchers studying biomedicine,
corrosion, surface science, and electrochemistry.
