Advanced Bioceramics - Hardback

Advanced Bioceramics: Properties, Processing, and Applications describes development of bioceramics and biocomposites, which are used in various biomedical applications including bone tissue repair, remodelling and regeneration. It covers the fundamental aspects of materials science and bioengineering, clinical performance in a variety of applications, ISO/ASTM specifications, and opportunities and challenges.

• Offers a comprehensive view of properties and processing of bioceramics
• Highlights applications in dentistry, orthopaedic and maxillofacial implants, and regenerative and tissue engineering
• Covers ISO/ASTM specifications such as processing, clinical applications, recycling/reuse and disposal standards
• Explores health, environmental and ethical issues

With contributions from eminent editors and recognized authors around the world, this book should serve as an important reference for academics, scientists, researchers, students and practitioners in materials science and biomedical engineering. It is to assist in the design of novel, targeted and personalised bioceramic-based solutions to advanced healthcare.
