Biomaterials: A Systems Approach to Engineering Concepts provides readers with a systems approach to biomaterials and materials engineering. By focusing on the mechanical needs of implants, disease states, and current clinical needs, readers are encouraged to design materials and systems targeted at specific conditions, and to identify the impact of their proposed solutions.
This inventive text is a useful resource for researchers, students, and course providers of biomaterials and biomedical engineering.
- Provides a fully comprehensive treatment relating to the construction and use of materials in medicine
- Presents perspectives of disease states to encourage the design of materials and systems targeted at specific conditions
- Defines current issues experienced by clinics to enable optimized engineering solutions
