Comprehensive Biomaterials, Vol. 3

ELSEVIER

Ducheyne, Paul

Elsevier Science

<p>This volume contains 78 papers from the 6th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, held in Philadelphia, USA and offers an extensive account of the leading edge research in this field of bioceramics. The sections are organized in such a way that they reflect the major lines of ceramics research, as well as focus on the critical properties and the mechanistic analyses of the interactions these materials elicit in tissues. The book includes sections on so called bioinert ceramics. These ceramics such as alumina and zirconia, are chemically very stable materials. They are primarily used in artificial joints and dental implants. Carbon-based ceramics have outstanding blood contact properties, and therefore, are the materials of choice in the construction of heart valves. This volume includes sections covering the current research on the use of bioactive ceramics and glasses as coatings on prostheses to achieve long-lasting fixation of devices.</p>

<p>The understanding of the in vivo performance of synthetic materials is largely dependent upon a profound knowledge of the properties of the materials in question. Analogous to materials science in its broadest sense, the basis for biomaterials science is formed by microstructural there. It is therefore, that in this series on structure property relationships in biomaterials a substantial part is devoted to the analysis of the basic properties of the various synthetic biomaterials. In addition, the effect of microstructural aspects on properties is considered at great length.</p>
