Springer Biomedical Composites: Perspectives and Applications (Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials)

This book provides an overview of biocomposite chemistry, chemical modifications, characterization and applications in biomedicine, with emphasis on recent advances in the field. Authored by experts, the chapters discuss the design, development and selection of biomedical composites for a particular therapeutic application, as well as providing insight into the regulatory and clinical aspects of biomedical composite use. While this book is primarily intended for scientists from the fields of medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological and biomedical engineering, it is also useful as an advanced text for students and research scholars.  From the Back Cover This book provides an overview of biocomposite chemistry, chemical modifications, characterization and applications in biomedicine, with emphasis on recent advances in the field.
