Riassunto

A balanced approach to understanding the response of living tissues and systems to manufactured biomaterials and the effect of life processes on the properties and behaviour of successful and unsuccessful biomaterials. This third edition contains a glossary of specialized terms; discussion of the emerging area of tissue engineering; more sources; and more tables to additional generic biomaterials properties.

Contenuti

General considerations: biocompatibility - definitions and issues; introduction to the biological environment. Material response - function and degradation of materials in vivo: swelling and leaching; corrosion and dissolution; reactions of biological molecules with biomaterial surfaces; mechanics of materials - deformation and failure; friction and wear. Implant materials - properties. Host response - biological effects of implants: the inflammatory process; coagulation and haemolysis; adaptation; in vitro tissue growth and replantation; allergic foreign-body response; chemical and foreign-body carcinogenesis; mineral metabolism; systemic distribution and excretion; effects of degradation products on remote organ functions. Diagnosis of host response. Methods of test for biological performance: in vitro test methods; in vivo implant models; clinical testing of implant materials; design and selection of implant materials; clinical performance of biomaterials.
