Interest in biomaterials, which are widely used to replace or augment hard tissues, continues to grow. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the Biomaterials Fabrication and Processing Handbook serves as a comprehensive reference on the fabrication and processing of biomaterials. This handbook contains a wealth of valuable information and data on how to produce and prepare materials needed by the biomedical community. Written by international researchers and scientists currently working in the field, the book focuses on the areas of hard tissue replacements, artificial soft tissues, cardiac and cardiovascular materials, tissue engineering materials, drug delivery systems, and nano-biomaterials.
