Introductory Biomaterials enables undergraduate students in
Biomedical, Chemical, Materials and other relevant Engineering
disciplines to become familiar with the key concepts of
Biomaterials principles: biocompatibility,
structure-property-applications relationships, mechanical response
of natural tissues, and cellular pathways for tissue-material
ingrowth. Written in a clear, concise manner that weds theory with
applications, this book helps students to understand the often
intricate relationships between materials the implant devices that
are made from them, and how the human body reacts to them. The book
includes such concepts as requirements for metals, alloys, and
ceramic materials to be used in load bearing implants (corrosion
concepts, stress shielding, mechanical properties, composition),
what properties of polymers impact their use in medicine (leaching
and swelling, creep and stress relaxation); the tissue response to
biomaterials, concepts related to drug delivery applications
(polymer degradation, encapsulation), and tissue engineering
(scaffold porosity, diffusion of nutrients, mechanical properties).
