Biomedical Composites: Materials, Manufacturing and Engineering [Kõva köide]

Biomedical composites materials are incredibly complex. They have to be, to endure the conditions under which they are used, while still remaining inoffensive to the body. These eight extended essays address these issues, including ceramic polymer composites for hard tissue applications, hydroxyapatite (HA-p) to metal biocomposite coatings, hydrogels based on polyvinylalcohol for cartilage replacement, polymer composites for cemented total hip replacements, bioresorbable composites for bone repair, bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics, metal oxide-based one-dimensional titanium nanostructures via electro-spinning, and hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Composite materials are engineered materials, made from two or more constituents with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate on a macroscopic level within the finished structure. Due to their special mechanical and physical properties they have the potential to replace conventional materials in various fields such as the biomedical industry.
