Composites in Biomedical Applications

Composites in Biomedical Applications presents a comprehensive overview on recent developments in composites and their use in biomedical applications. It features cutting-edge developments to encourage further advances in the field of composite research.

• Highlights a completely new research theme in polymer-based composite materials
• Outlines a broad range of different research fields, including polymer and natural fiber reinforcement used in the development of composites for biomedical applications
• Discusses advanced techniques for the development of composites and biopolymer-based composites
• Covers fatigue behavior, conceptual design in ergonomics design application, tissue regeneration or replacement, and skeletal bone repair of polymer composites
• Details the latest developments in synthesis, preparation, characterization, material evaluation, and future challenges of composite applications in the biomedical field

This book is a comprehensive resource for advanced students and scientists pursuing research in the broad fields of composite materials, polymers, organic or inorganic hybrid materials, and nano-assembly.
