Materials in Biology and Medicine cover

While the interdisciplinary field of materials science and engineering is relatively new, remarkable developments in materials have emerged for biological and medical applications, from biocompatible polymers in medical devices to the use of carbon nanotubes as drug delivery vehicles. With peer-reviewed chapters written by a select group of academic and industry experts, this comprehensive yet accessible book covers the most advanced materials used in biology and medicine. The book focuses on biomaterials and bioinspired materials, functional and responsive materials, controlling biology with materials, and the development of devices and enabling technologies. It will help readers tackle challenges of novel materials, carry out new process and product development projects, and create new methodologies for applications that enhance the quality of life.

" … a timely addition to the field … Cutting-edge articles by leading experts review critical areas covering biomaterials and biomimetic materials, materials function and response modification, and medical device development. Each application-oriented chapter provides the relevant scientific and engineering background with extensive references for further study and research. The contributors use multiple examples to provide rich insights into a broad array of biomaterial applications for a target audience consisting of graduate students, materials scientists, research engineers, and academic physicians and surgeons."—Dr. Sunil K.
