A biomaterial is a substance used in medical applications to treat, augment or replace a function of the body. Their development and use has expanded rapidly in recent years, but the interaction between synthetic materials and the biological environment is poorly understood. Biomaterials: Processing, Characterisation and Applications addressees the balance, providing a comprehensive discussion on key issues in research and development in the field. A fundamental account of core topics in engineering, medicine and surgery in relation to biomaterial science is given in a coherent and accesible style. This is applied to produce a timely discussion on important advancements in biomaterial processing and design. This book will be an indispensible guide to advanced level undergraduate and graduate students studying materials science, as well as engineers and physicians requiring a current treatment of significant developments in this field.

<p>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.</p> <p>Highlights include:</p> <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>
