Engineering of Biomaterials, 1st ed. 2017 Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : dos Santos Venina, Brandalise Rosmary Nichele, Savaris Michele
This book focuses on biomaterials of different forms used for medical implants. The authors introduce the characteristics and properties of biomaterials and then dedicate special chapters to metallic, ceramic, polymeric and composite biomaterials. Case studies on sterilization methods by biomaterials are also presented. Finally, the authors describe the degradation and effects of biomaterials in living tissue.
