Summary:

"The revised edition of this renowned and bestselling title is the most comprehensive single text on all aspects of biomaterials science from principles to applications. It provides a balanced, insightful approach to both the learning of the science and technology of biomaterials and acts as the key reference for practitioners who are involved in the applications of materials in medicine. In the new edition, there will be key updates to reflect the latest relevant research in the field, particularly in the applications section will include the latest in topics such as nanotechnology, robotic implantation, and biomaterials utilized in cancer research detection and therapy. Other additions include regenerative engineering, 3D printing, personalized medicine and organs on a chip. Translation from the lab to commercial products will be emphasized with new content dedicated to medical device development, global issues related to translation, and issues of quality assurance and reimbursement. Based on customer feedback, the new edition also features consolidation of redundant material to ensure clarity and focus. Where appropriate, end-of-chapter exercises have been included with solutions available online with students specifically in mind. Biomaterials Science, 4th edition is an important update to the best-selling text, vital to the biomaterials community"-- Provided by publisher
