Polymers have emerged as one of the most innovative classes of
materials in modern materials science, leading to new applications
in medicine and pharmacy. This book offers a convincing and
understandable approach to polymer biomaterial devices being used
in various areas related to biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.
The polymer materials finding application as biomaterials are
discussed and described in detail pertaining to the areas of
artificial implants, orthopedics, ocular devices, dental implants,
drug delivery systems, burns and wounds.
This book is intended for researchers who are interested in
investigating the nanomechanical properties of materials using
advanced instrumentation techniques. The chapters of the book are
written in an easy-to-follow format, just like solved examples. The
book comprehensively covers a broad range of materials such as
polymers, ceramics, hybrids, biomaterials, metal oxides,
nanoparticles, minerals, carbon nanotubes and welded joints. Each
chapter describes the application of techniques on the selected
material and also mentions the methodology adopted for the
extraction of information from the raw data. This is a unique book
in which both equipment manufacturers and equipment users have
contributed chapters. Novices will learn the techniques directly
from the inventors and senior researchers will gain in-depth
information on the new technologies that are suitable for advanced
analysis. On the one hand, fundamental concepts that are needed to
understand the nanomechanical behavior of materials is included in
the introductory part of the book. On the other hand, dedicated
chapters describe the utilization of advanced numerical modeling in
understanding the properties of complex materials. This book is
useful for students and researchers from diverse backgrounds
including chemistry, physics, materials science & engineering,
biotechnology and biomedical engineering. It is well suited as a
textbook for students and as a reference book for researchers.

Traditionally, most synthetically developed materials are hardened
by heating them to an elevated temperature, a process requiring
large amounts of energy and space. Interest in photo cured
materials using UV-light is growing due to simplifications in
manufacturing and growing environmental concerns; it is expected
photocuring could reduce electricity consumption by 90% compared to
traditional curing. Photocured materials also reduce evaporation of
volatile organic components, curing time and waste, thereby
enhancing productivity and reducing work space. The materials
technologies based on photocuring are gaining momentum, and this
will be the first book to provide an in-depth focus on the subject.
This book summarises the fundamentals required to understand the
field, characterises the use of novel materials and the development
of synthetic aspects, and discusses the future of the technology.
The comprehensive review chapters are suitable for a broad
readership from diverse backgrounds including chemistry, physics,
materials science and engineering, medical science, pharmacy,
biotechnology and biomedical engineering. Photocured Materials will
be of interest to students, researchers, scientists, engineers and
professors.
