This book offers an in-depth exploration of biomaterials with a primary focus on recent developments. It begins by providing a comprehensive background on the basic principles of biomaterials, followed by the synthesis, properties, and performance of various biomaterials. Subsequent chapters discuss topics such as biocompatibility, the interaction of biomaterials with the human body, and the role of biomaterials in regenerative medicine. It also addresses the technological advancements in biomaterials, novel fabrication methods, and surface modification techniques backed by case studies.Features:• Presents the latest advancements in biomaterials, including novel fabrication methods, innovative materials, and groundbreaking applications in medical devices and regenerative medicine.• Offers a holistic view of the biomaterials field, bridging various disciplines such as biology, chemistry, materials science, and medicine.• Illustrates practical applications of biomaterials in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and medical imaging.• Delves into the ethical, regulatory, and commercial dimensions of biomaterials.• Includes detailed case studies on topics such as thermal properties, corrosion resistance, and industrial coatings.This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students of bioengineering, biomaterials, and materials science.

Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
