Opis

Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the topic, this text combines fundamental knowledge of materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and engineering to convey the basic principles of BioMEMS. The book examines microfabrication and nanotechnology and provides practical examples of commercialized devices in use today. It also explores some of the emerging applications, such as ambulatory monitoring devices for a variety of medical conditions and prosthetics. The text offers those with limited background in MEMS/ BioMEMS an introduction to the technology used to make these devices and the relevant areas for their application.
