《Advanced Biomaterials for Biomedical Engineering》




Biomedical engineering is the key technology of the 21st century. The possibility to exploit the structures and process of advanced materials for novel functional materials, biosensors, stem cells technology, regenerative medicine, drug delivery systems has created the rapidly growing field of biomaterials technology. Designed as a broad survey of the field, this book combines contributions from molecular biology, materials science and medicine to fathom the full scope of current and future developments.

It is divided into four main sections:

?Interface systems
?Physiochemical properties
?Structures of biomaterials
?Medical applications

Each chapter describes in detail currently valuable methods and contains numerous references to the primary literature, making this the perfect “filed guide” for chemists, biologists and physicians who want to explore the fascinating world of biomedical engineering.
