eBook 정보

Biodegradable Implant Engineering explores the innovative realm of temporary medical implants designed to dissolve within the body, potentially eliminating the need for follow-up surgeries. This book investigates the materials science behind biocompatible polymers like polyesters and hydrogels, crucial for crafting implants with controlled degradation rates. A key insight involves understanding how the body responds to these degrading materials, including tissue integration and immune reactions. The book uniquely synthesizes diverse knowledge, offering a framework for designing implants with predictable degradation, controlled drug delivery systems, and optimal biocompatibility.

It progresses from foundational principles of biodegradable materials, through analysis of various polymers and their in-vivo performance, to the integration of drug delivery systems and real-world case studies, providing a comprehensive view of implant engineering. This approach ensures readers gain an understanding of how material selection, processing techniques, and implant geometry influence an implant's lifespan and therapeutic efficacy.
