Summary

Focusing on a lucrative and increasingly important area of biomedicine, the Biomaterials Fabrication and Processing Handbookbrings together various biomaterials production and processing aspects, including tissue engineering scaffold materials, drug delivery systems, nanobiomaterials, and biosensors. With contributions from renowned international experts and extensive reference lists in each chapter, the volume provides detailed, practical information to produce and use biomaterials. The different facets of biomaterials technology are split into four sections in the booka??Part IThe development of new materials and devices capable of interacting specifically with biological tissues and the preparation of scaffolds using materials with appropriate composition and structure Part IIThe necessary materials to create a drug delivery system capable of controlled release and the incorporation of drug reservoirs into implantabledevices for sustained controlled release Part IIIThe significant role nanotechnology plays in the biomedical and biotechnology fields Part IVMore biomaterials, including synthetic and natural degradable polymeric biomaterials, electroactive polymers as smart materials, and biomaterials for gastrointestinal and cartilage repair and reconstruction
