Book Description:
Progress in the development of surgical implant materials has been hindered by the lack of basic information available on the nature of the tissues, organs, and systems being repaired or replaced. However a considerable body of data has accumulated concerning the materials aspect of both implantable materials and natural tissues and fluids, broadly distributed in various publications, with varying degrees of accuracy and precision. This handbook draws together for the first time much of the accepted data and information on the subject. The experts responsible for each contribution to this book have considered not merely the intrinsic and interactive properties of biomaterials, but also the appropriateness of their applications as well as their historical context. The resulting text will prove invaluable to the researcher, student, bioengineer and practicing physician. Citation: J. Black and G. Hastings (eds.), Handbook of Biomaterials Properties, Springer - Verlag, 1998. On-line accessible by Knovel. Copyright © 2008 Knovel Corporation. Access Book |
