Description for Handbook of Biomaterial Properties
Hardback. Progress in the development of surgical implant materials has been hindered by the lack of basic information on the nature of the tissues, organs, and systems being repaired or replaced. This book covers the intrinsic and interactive properties of biomaterials, the appropriateness of their applications as well as their historical context. Editor(s): Black, Jonathan; Hastings, Garth W. Num Pages: 590 pages, 15 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MNQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 33. Weight in Grams: 1034.
Progress in the development of surgical implant materials has been hindered by the lack of basic information on the nature of the tissues, organs and systems being repaired or replaced. Materials' properties of living systems, whose study has been conducted largely under the rubric of tissue mechanics, has tended to be more descriptive than quantitative. In the early days of the modern surgical implant era, this deficiency was not critical. However, as implants continue to improve and both longer service life and higher reliability are sought, the inability to predict the behavior of implanted manufactured materials has revealed the relative ...
