| Summary |
For medical devices that must be placed inside the body, the right choice of material is the most important aspect of design. To make sure such devices are safe, reliable, economical, and biologically and physiologically compatible, the modern biomedical engineer must have a broad knowledge of currently available materials and the properties that affect their in-service performance. In chapters drawn from the third edition of the best-selling "Biomedical Engineering Handbook", "Biomaterials" surveys the wide variety of biomaterials in present use as well as materials resulting from novel micro- and nanoscale technologies. In addition to material from the "Handbook", nearly one-third of this sharply focused work is new |
