Riassunto

Surface Characterization of Biomaterials is the first book to define the scope of contemporary research in this area by presenting articles from almost all the groups worldwide who are utilizing both new and traditional methods to explore the surfaces of biomaterials. The book contains introductory, tutorial articles on important methods, perspective articles clarifying why these methods are important to biomaterials science, and sixteen research articles illustrating how these tools are being used by most of the leaders in this field. The techniques featured include ESCA, static SIMS, contact angle methods, scanning electron stimulated desorption microscopy, Fourier transform infrared methods, and transmission electron microscopy. The classes of materials described include polymers, ceramics and metals. Surface modification of many of these materials is discussed. The biological problems addressed include blood compatibility, cell adhesion, osteointegration, and protein adsorption. The book will be welcomed by researchers and manufacturers interested in biomaterials. Experts in the field will find an overview of contemporary research.
