Ideal as a graduate textbook, this title is aimed at helping design effective biomaterials, taking into account the complex interactions that occur at the interface when a synthetic material is inserted into a living system. Surface reactivity, biochemistry, substrates, cleaning, preparation, and coatings are presented, with numerous case studies and applications throughout. Highlights include: <ul>
<li>Starts with concepts and works up to real-life applications such as implantable devices, medical devices, prosthetics, and drug delivery technology</li> <li>Addresses surface reactivity, requirements for surface coating, cleaning and preparation techniques, and characterization</li> <li>Discusses the biological response to coatings</li> <li>Addresses biomaterial-tissue interaction</li> <li>Incorporates nanomechanical properties and processing strategies</li> </ul>
