Fundamental Biomaterials: Polymers provides current information on
findings and developments of biopolymers and their conversion from
base materials to medical devices. Chapters analyze the types of
polymers and discuss a range of biomedical applications. It is the
first title in a three volume set, with each reviewing the most
important and commonly used classes of biomaterials and providing
comprehensive information on classification, materials properties,
behavior, biocompatibility and applications. The book concludes
with essential information on wear, lifetime prediction and
cytotoxicity of biomaterials. This title will be of use to
researchers and professionals in development stages, but will also
help medical researchers understand and effectively communicate the
requirements of a biomaterial for a specific application. Further,
with the recent introduction of a number of interdisciplinary
bio-related undergraduate and graduate programs, this book will be
an appropriate reference volume for large number of students at
undergraduate and post graduate levels.
Handbook of Natural Polymers, Volume One: Sources, Synthesis, and
Characterization is a comprehensive resource covering extraction
and processing methods for polymers from natural sources, with an
emphasis on the latest advances. Sections cover the current
state-of-the-art, challenges and opportunities in natural polymers.
Following sections cover extraction, synthesis and characterization
methods organized by polymer type. Along with broad chapters
discussing approaches to starch-based and polysaccharide-based
polymers, dedicated chapters offer in-depth information on
nanocellulose, chitin and chitosan, gluten, alginate, natural
rubber, gelatin, pectin, lignin, keratin, gutta percha, shellac,
silk, wood, casein, albumin, collagen, hemicellulose,
polyhydroxyalkanoates, zein, soya protein, and gum. Final chapters
explore other key themes, including filler interactions and
properties in natural polymer-based composites, biocompatibility
and cytotoxicity, and biodegradability, life cycle, and recycling.
Throughout the book, information is supported by data, and guidance
is offered regarding potential scale-up and industry factors.
Fundamental Biomaterials: Metals provides current information on
the development of metals and their conversion from base materials
to medical devices. Chapters analyze the properties of metals and
discuss a range of biomedical applications, with a focus on
orthopedics. While the book will be of great use to researchers and
professionals in the development stages of design for more
appropriate target materials, it will also help medical researchers
understand, and more effectively communicate, the requirements for
a specific application. With the recent introduction of a number of
interdisciplinary bio-related undergraduate and graduate programs,
this book will be an appropriate reference volume for students. It
represents the second volume in a three volume set, each of which
reviews the most important and commonly used classes of
biomaterials, providing comprehensive information on materials
properties, behavior, biocompatibility and applications.
Fundamental Biomaterials: Ceramics provides current information on
ceramics and their conversion from base materials to medical
devices. Initial chapters review biomedical applications and types
of ceramics, with subsequent sections focusing on the properties of
ceramics, and on corrosion, degradation and wear of ceramic
biomaterials. The book is ideal for researchers and professionals
in the development stages of design, but is also helpful to medical
researchers who need to understand and communicate the requirements
of a biomaterial for a specific application. This title is the
second in a three volume set, with each reviewing the most
important and commonly used classes of biomaterials and providing
comprehensive information on material properties, behavior,
biocompatibility and applications. In addition, with the recent
introduction of a number of interdisciplinary bio-related
undergraduate and graduate programs, this book will be an
appropriate reference volume for large number of students at
undergraduate and post graduate levels
