Carbon is light-weight, strong, conductive and able to mimic
natural materials within the body, making it ideal for many uses
within biomedicine. Consequently a great deal of research and
funding is being put into this interesting material with a view to
increasing the variety of medical applications for which it is
suitable. Diamond-based materials for biomedical applications
presents readers with the fundamental principles and novel
applications of this versatile material.
Part one provides a clear introduction to diamond based materials
for medical applications. Functionalization of diamond particles
and surfaces is discussed, followed by biotribology and biological
behaviour of nanocrystalline diamond coatings, and blood
compatibility of diamond-like carbon coatings. Part two then goes
on to review biomedical applications of diamond based materials,
beginning with nanostructured diamond coatings for orthopaedic
applications. Topics explored include ultrananocrystalline diamond
for neural and ophthalmological applications, nanodiamonds for drug
delivery systems, and diamond nucleation and seeding techniques for
tissue regeneration. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion
of diamond materials for microfluidic devices.
With its distinguished editors and international team of expert
contributors, Diamond-based materials for biomedical applications
is an authoritative guide for all materials scientists,
researchers, medical practitioners and academics investigating the
properties and uses of diamond based materials in the biomedical
environment.
