The book reviews recent progress in the design and study of biomaterials biocompatibility, along with current understanding on how to control immune system response. Sections provide the fundamental theories and challenges of biomaterials biocompatibility, the role of different biomaterials physicochemical surface properties on cell responses, cell responses to different physicochemical properties of polymers, ceramics, metals, carbons and nanomaterials, and biomaterials in different tissues, such as the cardiac, nervous system, cartilage and bone.
This resource will be suitable for those working in the fields of materials science, regenerative engineering, medicine, medical devices and nanotechnology.
- Reviews the fundamental theories and challenges of biomaterials biocompatibility, including an overview of the standards and regulations
- Provides an overview on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in host responses to biomaterials
- Systematically looks at cellular response and tissue response to a wide range of biomaterials, including polymers, metals, ceramics, alloys and nanomaterials
Materials science, regenerative engineering, medicine, medical devices, and nanotechnology, those working in academia, R&D and the clinic
