Provides the most comprehensive review of major biomaterials, metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites in one source
- Covers recent advances in the field
- Discusses tissue-derived biomaterials
- Includes storage and preservation guidelines
- Examines hip joint prosthesis problems and solutions
Biomaterials: Principles and Applications offers a comprehensive review of all the major biomaterials
in this rapidly growing field. In recent years, the role of biomaterials has been influenced considerably by
advances in many areas of biotechnology and science, as well as advances in surgical techniques and instruments.
Comprising chapters contributed by a panel of international experts, this text provides a familiarity with the uses
of materials in medicine and dentistry and the rational basis for these applications. It covers such subjects as
biodegradable polymeric materials and their relation to tissue engineering, biologic materials, and biomaterials
applications in soft and hard tissues. Nearly one hundred figures and tables further add to the value of this book.
The text is concise, topical, and not overly technical - No other book covers the entire field of biomaterials so
succinctly in one volume.
