Description for Learning from Nature How to Design New Implantable Biomaterials: From Biomineralization Fundamentals to Biomimetic Materials and Processing Routes
Hardback. The biomineralization and biomaterials research communities have not been working side by side. An understanding of the relevant fundamentals and a simultaneous application oriented view leads to the design of biomimetic materials and processing routes, including production of biomimetic coatings. Editor(s): Reis, R.l. (University of Minho); Weiner, Stephen. Series: NATO Science Series II. Num Pages: 234 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 532.
The development of materials for any replacement or regeneration application should be based on the thorough understanding of the structure to be substituted. This is true in many fields, but particularly exigent in substitution and regeneration medicine. The demands upon the material properties largely depend on the site of application and the function it has to restore. Ideally, a replacement material should mimic the living tissue from a mechanical, chemical, biological and functional point of view. Of course this is much easier to write down than to implement in clinical practice. Mineralized tissues such as bones, tooth and shells have ... Read more
