Aims & Scope
Nowadays, there is a growing need for bone replacement materials globally due to a large number of patients suffer from bone cancer, traffic accident and other bone injury. This book provides the update information with the growing development of biomedical science and engineering. Focusing exclusively on the fundamental aspects and applications of biomaterials and biomedical sciences, this authoritative reference:
| • |
Introduces nickel-titanium alloys with superelasticity and shape memory effect, and bioactive bone cement for orthopedic applications. |
| • |
Covers plasma immersion ion implantation of NiTi shape memory alloy |
| • |
Covers new research trends in polymer nanocomposites including nano-hydroxyapaptite/polymer and carbon nanotube/polymer biocomposites. |
| • |
Discusses response of cells to ionizing radiation such as DNA damage responses in zebrafish |
With chapters contributed by eminent scientists in Hong Kong specialize in biophysics, biomaterials and biomedical engineering, this is a useful reference for scientists, biomedical engineers, medical technologists and graduate students conducting research on biomaterials and biomedical sciences.
