Over the past two decades, the field of biomaterials has rapidly matured into a discipline, characterized by a firm base of scientific and engineering knowledge. This new text, aimed at bioengineering students at all levels, provides an excellent, readable, survey of the field. This book stresses the biological, chemical and mechanical structural characteristics of successful biomaterials and also covers the pathobiology, wound healing and biological reactions to implants. The final chapters deal with the promise of tissue engineering and where biological materials may be taking us in the future.

Adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the chemistry and physics of materials, their biocompatibility, and the consequences of implantation of such devices into the human body, this text introduces readers to the principles of polymer science and the study of metals, ceramics and composites, and also to the basic biology required to understand the nature of the host-transplant interface. Topics covered include the macromolecular components of cells and tissues, self-assembly processes, biological cascade systems, microscopic structure of cells and tissues, immunology, transplantation biology, and the pathobiology of wound healing. The materials science section includes the structures and properties of polymers, metals, ceramics and composites, and the processes for forming materials as well as the pathobiology of devices. The final two chapters deal with tissue engineering and the relations between the biology of cells and tissue transplantation, and the engineering of tissue replacements using passaged cells.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Biomedical Engineering Program between Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey entitled 'Biopolymers' and 'Patho biology' during the past 15 years. It is our hope that this book will provide the reader with all the infor mation necessary to understand the complexity of the biological reactions that are set into motion by implantation of a material or a device. We hope that this book will provide a framework for thinking about implant interactions with bio logical systems. Although the field of studying pathobiological responses to im plants is still in its infancy, we are now more aware of acute and chronic con ditions that generate inflammatory responses as a result of wear debris, activation of complement, and acute hypersensitivity. As we learn more concerning these responses, it is hoped that our ability to design implants will also improve. We encourage readers to send to us any suggestions of additional topics that they would like to see covered in our book. Frederick H.
