Advanced Biomaterials for Medical Applications
“Advanced Biomaterials for Medical Applications” by David W. Thomas is a comprehensive exploration of the advancements in biomaterials science, published by Springer Science & Business Media on November 30, 2004. This softcover reprint of the original 1st edition spans 200 pages and is presented in English. The book delves into the significant progress made over the past 50 years, highlighting the collaboration among engineers, chemists, and biologists in the field.
Readers will find a detailed examination of the diverse clinical applications of biomaterials, moving beyond traditional uses to include innovative “smart” biomaterials that can recognize and respond to their environments. The contributions from various experts in polymer chemistry, engineering, biology, and clinical practice illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of this field. The discussions encompass both therapeutic applications and the growing role of advanced biomaterials in diagnosis and treatment within medical science.
Official synopsis Publisher
Biomaterials science has advanced dramatically in the past 50 years with the increased cooperation between engineers chemists and biologists. Whilst previously biomaterials may have been erroneously thought to encompass dressing materials or implant structures designed to replace damaged or diseased tissue, the range of clinical applications of these materials is immense. Truly “Smart” biomaterials, which have the ability to recognise, respond to and even record their environment, now exist. The presentations in this volume reflect the true inter-disciplinary nature of biomaterials science; with contributions from polymer chemists, engineers, biologists and clinicians. The presentations show the potential of these collaborations and describe how advanced biomaterials have and are being employed not only in theraputic applications, but also increasingly in diagnosis and treatment in medical science.
