Synopsis
The 18-volume series is a topic-oriented compendium of current information on the growing interdisciplinary field of materials science and technology, covering the most important classes of materials: metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, semiconductors, and composites. Volume 14 deals with the composition, biocompatibility, and performance of a wide variety of medical and dental materials that are available or are under development. In order to focus attention on the concepts and details that are associated with the individual clinical uses, the chapters are largely based on the clinical disciplines that utilize biomaterials, and there are contributions within the areas of orthopedics, maxillofacial surgery, cardiovascular surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, and drug delivery.
