Riassunto

Despite advances in alternative materials, metals are still the biomaterial of choice for a number of clinical applications such as dental, orthopedic and cardiac implants. However, there are a number of intrinsic problems associated with implanting metal in the biological environment, such as wear, corrosion, biocompatibility and toxicity, which must be addressed. Modern technology has enabled scientists to modify metal surfaces or apply special coatings to metals to improve their performance safety. Surface Coating and Modification of Metallic Biomaterials will discuss the most important modification techniques and coatings for metals, first covering the fundamentals of metals as a biomaterial and then exploring surface modification techniques and coatings.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Despite advances in alternative materials, metals are still the biomaterial of choice for a number of clinical applications such as dental, orthopaedic and cardiac implants. However, there are a number of intrinsic problems associated with implanting metal in the biological environment such as wear, corrosion, biocompatibility and toxicity which must be addressed. Modern technology has enabled scientists to modify metal surfaces or apply special coatings to metals to improve the performance safety of these biomaterials.

This book discusses the most important modification techniques and coatings for metals. Part one covers Fundamentals of surface coating and modification of metallic biomaterials. Part two Surface modification techniques for metallic biomaterials and Part three Applications of surface modification and coatings
