N1  - The book covers classes of materials commonly used in biomedical applications, followed by coverage of the biocompatibility of those materials with the biological environment. Finally, it covers some in-depth applications of biomaterials. It does all of this with an overall emphasis on tissue engineering. Table Of ContentsMaterials for Biomedical Applications Chemical Structure of Biomaterials Physical Properties of Biomaterials Mechanical Properties of Biomaterials Biomaterial DegradationBiomaterial ProcessingSurface Properties of BiomaterialsProtein Interactions with BiomaterialsCell Interactions with BiomaterialsBiomaterial Implantation and Acute InflammationWound Healing and the Presence of BiomaterialsImmune Response to BiomaterialsBiomaterials and ThrombosisInfection, Tumorigenesis and Calcification of BiomaterialsSalient FeaturesTopics build from basic chemical/structural organization of materials through physical and mechanical properties to material processing/manufacturing. Included at the end of each chapter are key measurement methods and techniques for determining/measuring the material or biological properties described. Each chapter includes a list of specific learning objectives
