This latest volume in the Advances in Chemical Engineering series, is a contemporary analysis of the preparation, structure and properties of
biomaterials with emphasis on the molecular design and material/polymer
interactions. The book addresses cell-biomaterials adhesion,
biomaterials and gene therapy, protein adsorption, platelet and white
cell activation processes, molecular design and surface modification of
novel biomaterials.
- Original reviews
- Leading chemical engineers as authors
- Update on biomaterials use
- Novel subject on use of biomaterials in drug delivery and gene therapy
- Mathematical modeling

Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological scientists. Written by established authorities in the field, the comprehensive reviews combine descriptive chemistry and mechanistic insight and yield an understanding of how the chemistry drives the properties.
