Riassunto

Given such problems as rejection, the interface between an implant and its human host is a critical area in biomaterials. This book summarizes the wealth of research on understanding the surface properties of biomaterials and the way they interact with human tissue. The first part reviews the way biomaterial surfaces form. Part two then discusses ways of monitoring and characterizing surface structure and behavior. The final sections look at a range of in vitro and in vivo studies of the complex interactions between biomaterials and the body. Chapters cover such topics as bone and tissue regeneration, the role of interface interactions in biodegradable biomaterials, microbial biofilm formation, vascular tissue engineering and ways of modifying biomaterial surfaces to improve biocompatibility.
