To our knowledge, no book has addressed before this topic in such an integrated and "looking forward" perspective. There is, therefore, a necessity for a book that would address, in an integrated way, topics that go from understanding biomineralization processes of different mineralized tissues (that means: not only bone, tooth, etc.) to the use of that science to engineer new biomimetic processes and materials. In fact, only an understanding of the relevant fundamentals and a Analysis Implantable biomaterials Biomineralization Biomimetic materials engineering voedselchemie food chemistry voedselwetenschappen food sciences Engineering (General) Techniek (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Biomedical materials -- Congresses Biocompatibility -- Congresses Biomedical materials.
