Fundamentals of Biomaterials: Edition 2
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
Fundamentals of Biomaterials, 2nd Ed. is written in a single voice, ensuring clarity and continuity of the text and content. As a result, the reader will be gradually familiarized with the field, starting with materials and their basic properties and eventually leading to critical interactions with the host environment. The authors also present new topics such as tissue engineering, guided tissue regeneration, and nano- and micro- architecture of biomaterial surfaces. Full of important medical and biological definitions, essential applications, detailed examples, and interesting chapter-ending summaries, this book serves as an incredibly useful teaching text and as a modern introduction to biomaterials research.
This second edition includes new chapters on the historical development of biomaterials, transplants and implants, characterization techniques, and biomedical device production, as well as an expanded chapter on human biology that now also includes biological systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, nervous, etc.), plus much more.
