Opis

Covers key principles and methodologies of biomaterials science and tissue engineering with the help of numerous case studies.

Recenzje

'The book is extremely well structured and every chapter is critical for anyone planning to design medical devices or implants. For example, the inclusion of a chapter on biofilms is a wonderful addition and you will not normally find this in a biomaterials text. For the last thirty years I have been teaching graduate level materials science both in the US and India. This would be a book I would make a mandatory course reference, as I have wanted to include more biological considerations into the standard materials science course.'
