Biomaterials have applications in tissue engineering, medical devices, orthopedics, and other areas. This guide examines the physico-chemical properties of widely used biomaterials and cites examples of their uses in different clinical applications. Topics covered include soft and hard tissue replacement; biointeractive metals, polymers, and ceramics; and in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo biocompatibility tests and clinical trials. This text is for students as well as professionals new to the field"--cProvided by publisher.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2011.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aBiomimetic polymers. 0aBiomimetics. 0aTissuesxMechanical properties. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aSantin, Matteo.1 aPhillips, Gary.2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10542506zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view
