Bioresorbable Materials and Bioactive Surface Coatings: Biomedical Implants and Tissue Regeneration (Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials)

Bioresorbable Materials and Bioactive Surface Coatings: Biomedical Implants and Tissue Regeneration provides a detailed review of biomaterials specially designed for use in biomedical implants, tissue repair, and regeneration. A wide range of resorbable materials are covered, including polymers, bioceramics, metallic alloys, and dissolvable electronics, as well as their properties, degradation kinetics, and potential clinical uses. The book also explores bioactive surface modifications, highlighting their importance in enhancing the functionality of bioresorbable materials.

Various coatings and surface modifications are covered, such as bioactive ceramic coatings, biofunctional polymer coatings, and surface modifications for enhanced osseointegration, cardiovascular applications, and neural interfaces. Additionally, regulatory guidelines for bioresorbable medical devices, ethical considerations, and environmental implications are analyzed.

• Details the fabrication techniques, properties, applications, and challenges of each material and implant type
• Covers a range of applications, including orthopedics, neural engineering, drug delivery, and cardiovascular implants
• Reviews the qualities and benefits of various bioresorbable and bioactive materials, such as polymers, alloys, ceramics, and composites
