Surface Engineering and Technology for Biomedical Implants - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This new book synthesizes a wide range of interdisciplinary literatureto provide the state-of-the art of biomedical implants. It discusses materials and explains the three basic requirements for implant success from a surface engineering perspective: biological compatibility, biomechanical compatibility, morphological compatibility. Biomedical, mechanical, and materials engineers will find this bookindispensable for understanding proper treatment of implant surfaces in order to achieve clinical success. Highlights include:- Coverage of surface engineering of polymer, metallic, ceramic and composite implant materials;- Coverage of chemical, mechanical, physical, thermal, and combined surface modification technologies;- Explanations of interfacial reaction between vital tissue and non-vital implant surface; and- Methodologies and technologies for modification of surfacelayer/zone to promote the osteo-integration, the ultimate success for biomedical implants in both dental and medicalpractice.
