The field of biomaterials has grown dramatically over the past
several years. To date, synthetic materials have been successfully
used for skeletal repair. Medical prostheses such as joint
replacements, dental implants and cardiovascular devices have been
accepted as the effective option of reconstruction for many people.
In addition, biomaterials play a key role in the emerging area of
tissue engineering, where living cells are cultured on the
biomaterial scaffolds to create new biological substances. This
book focuses on biomineralization to improve the performance of
medical implants, to prepare new materials and coatings, to solve
problems in industry and to cure diseases. It covers all aspects of
promotion and prevention of mineral formation in both natural and
synthetic biomaterials. Mineralization in bacteria, arthropods, and
other organisms are included, as are deposition of silica, iron
oxides and other hard compounds. Topics include: calcium phosphate
biomaterials; biomimetic apatite coatings; biomimetic ceramic thin
films; generation of CaCO3 in nature; SiO2 in biological systems;
mineralization on organic surface; and mineral-protein interaction.
