Description

Smart Materials in Medicine and Biomedical Engineering: Foundations, Applications, and Technologies systematically details the principles, methods, and practical applications in healthcare of biomaterials and smart materials. Divided into five sections, readers are guided through each core topic, building understanding as the book progresses.

This book begins with an introduction to essential concepts and historical development of biomaterials, with an emphasis on the key role of smart materials and their stimulus-responsive behavior, providing a foundation for understanding material selection and underlying principles. Practical methodologies follow, including synthesis techniques, surface modification, bioprinting protocols, advanced fabrication technologies, and AI modelling, training readers to design, fabricate, and evaluate relevant materials. Detailed biomedical and clinical case studies demonstrate real-world applications and problem-solving approaches, while discussion of limitations, societal and regulatory considerations supports critical assessment for translation to medical settings.

Smart Materials in Medicine and Biomedical Engineering: Foundations, Applications, and Technologies is a key resource for researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in materials science, biomedicine, and biomedical engineering who seek a practical and comprehensive introduction to smart materials and their biomedical applications. It is also valuable for clinicians and industry professionals interested in exploring smart biomaterials for patient care and medical device development.
