Summary:

Engineers and scientists have had to make big leaps across disciplinary boundaries to meet the challenges of BioMEMS, that is, applying microelectromechanical systems technology to biomedical purposes. While MEMS technology has proliferated in other sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics, the medical applications area is less developed. This collection of research articles is intended as an overview. Discussion encompasses silk as a MEMS material, biodegradable elastomeric polymers in tissue engineering, nervous system applications, hydrogel-based microfluids cell culture, drug delivery, surface coatings, vibration-based anti-biofouling of implants, and characterization of biomaterials. J-C Chiao is affiliated with the U. of Texas at Arlington; co-editor M. Chiao, with the U. of British Columbia, Canada. The volume is distributed in North America by CRC Press.
