Synopsis

Comprehensive Biomaterials brings together the myriad facets of biomaterials into one, major series of six edited volumes that would cover the field of biomaterials in a major, extensive fashion: 

Volume 1: Metallic, Ceramic and Polymeric Biomaterials Volume 2: Biologically Inspired and Biomolecular Materials Volume 3: Methods of Analysis Volume 4: Biocompatibility, Surface Engineering, and Delivery Of Drugs, Genes and Other Molecules Volume 5: Tissue and Organ Engineering Volume 6: Biomaterials and Clinical Use

Experts from around the world in hundreds of related biomaterials areas have contributed to this publication, resulting in a continuum of rich information appropriate for many audiences. The work addresses the current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field, their strengths and weaknesses, their future prospects, appropriate analytical methods and testing, device applications and performance, emerging candidate materials as competitors and disruptive technologies, and strategic insights for those entering and operational in diverse biomaterials applications, research and development, regulatory management, and commercial aspects. From the outset, the goal was to review materials in the context of medical devices and tissue properties, biocompatibility and surface analysis, tissue engineering and controlled release. It was also the intent both, to focus on material properties from the perspectives of therapeutic and diagnostic use, and to address questions relevant to state-of-the-art research endeavors.

• Reviews the current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field by analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, performance as well as future prospects
• Presents appropriate analytical methods and testing procedures in addition to potential device applications
• Provides strategic insights for those working on diverse application areas such as R&D, regulatory management, and commercial development

About this title

Review:

The new standard reference for students and researchers interested in any aspect of biomaterials science and engineering

From the Back Cover:

The dynamic face of the biomaterials world is so multi-faceted that it is very difficult for the expert and end-user to keep up routinely with promising claims and advances. Materials technologies relevant to advancing biomaterials toward clinical applications span an enormous and unprecedented intellectual and technological bandwidth. Areas to consider now include aspects of molecular, computational, recombinant, biotechnological, synthetic combinatorial, nanotechnological, hybrid composite, microbial, cell- and tissue-based, device innovation and quality systems management, preclinical and clinical testing, regulatory dimensions, and life-cycle analytical contributions to the global field and associated industry.

This Work develops and mines most of this ‘bandwidth’ significant to the biomaterials field. Significantly, it is developed by the world’s experts in hundreds of related biomaterials areas. The result is a continuum of rich information appropriate for many audiences from these experts. The treatise addresses the current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field, their strengths and weaknesses, their future prospectus, appropriate analytical methods and testing, device applications and performance, emerging candidate materials as competitors and disruptive technologies, and strategic insights for those entering and operational in diverse biomaterials applications, research and development, regulatory management, and commercial aspects.
