| Summary |
"Biomaterials: an Introduction is intended as a general purpose introduction to the uses of artificial materials in the human body for the purposes of aiding healing, correcting deformities, and restoring lost function." "Enhancing on the field developments since the last edition, Biomaterials: an Introduction continues in its tradition as an outgrowth of an undergraduate course for senior students in biomedical engineering developed by the authors. With 60 years of combined experience, the authors have emphasized the fundamental materials science, structure-property relationships and biological responses as a foundation for a wide array of biomaterials applications." "Organized as a textbook for the student needing to acquire the core competencies, Biomaterials: an Introduction will meet the demands of advanced undergraduate or graduate coursework in biomaterials, biomedical engineering, and biophysics."--Jacket |
