Riassunto

Ideal as a graduate textbook, this title is aimed at helping design effective biomaterials, taking into account the complex interactions that occur at the interface when a synthetic material is inserted into a living system. Surface reactivity, biochemistry, substrates, cleaning, preparation, and coatings are presented, with numerous case studies and applications throughout.

Highlights include:

• Starts with concepts and works up to real-life applications such as implantable devices, medical devices, prosthetics, and drug delivery technology
• Addresses surface reactivity, requirements for surface coating, cleaning and preparation techniques, and characterization
• Discusses the biological response to coatings
• Addresses biomaterial-tissue interaction
• Incorporates nanomechanical properties and processing strategies

Dalla quarta di copertina

A multidisciplinary approach that elucidates contrasting requirements of materials in their interfaces with the biological environment

Biomaterials can generally be produced either in nature or synthesized in the laboratory using a variety of chemical approaches utilizing metallic components or ceramics. They are used every day in dental applications, surgery, and drug delivery in which they perform, augment, or replace a natural function. Taking into account the complex interactions that occur at the interface when a synthetic material is inserted into a living system, Biosurfaces: A Materials Science and Engineering Perspective aims to gear students, scientists, researchers and other experts in the field with the tools to design effective biomaterials.

Building upon the real-life applications, Biosurfaces: A Materials Science and Engineering Perspective features:

+A bird’s eye overview of the critical requirements of materials, followed by a description of the fundamental mechanisms of protein adsorption, platelet and cell-adhesion

+Case studies on mechanical properties and laser engineering of surfaces that fulfill the critical requirements in constructing successful implants are included

+Discussion of the concept of non-wetting, required especially for anti-biofouling surfaces, via super-hydrophobicity

+Views on the social, ethical, and future issues associated with biomaterials design and implementation

Ideal as a graduate textbook, this monograph provides a multidisciplinary approach to the paradigm of biosurfaces and biomaterials through experts working in the arena of interfacing materials with bio-engineering. It is also an invaluable tool for the fields of biomedical engineering, biology, mechanical device design, and medical sciences.
