Biosurfaces - A Materials Science and Engineering Perspective torrent

Biosurfaces - A Materials Science and Engineering Perspective - Kantesh Balani et al. (Wiley, 2015).pdf

Ideal as a graduate textbook, this title is aimed at helping design effective biomaterials, taking into account the complex interactions that occur at the interface when a synthetic material is inserted into a living system. Surface reactivity, biochemistry, substrates, cleaning, preparation, and coatings are presented, with numerous case studies and applications throughout.

Highlights include:

Starts with concepts and works up to real-life applications such as implantable devices, medical devices, prosthetics, and drug delivery technology
Addresses surface reactivity, requirements for surface coating, cleaning and preparation techniques, and characterization
Discusses the biological response to coatings
Addresses biomaterial-tissue interaction
Incorporates nanomechanical properties and processing strategies
