Understand the core materials that create biomedical innovation
Some of the greatest medical advances in recent decades have come in the form of biomedical implants. Whether in the form of traditional orthopedic implants, medical devices for the cardiovascular system, or polymer-based ocular implants, biomedical implants can be lifesaving or life-transforming interventions. The biomaterials which comprise these implants are a vital area of ongoing research, but no prior volume has ever taken comprehensive stock of this subject and its growing applications.
An Overview of Biomedical Implants fills this gap with a thorough overview of all major biomaterials and their role in biomedical implants. Composed for an interdisciplinary audience, the book addresses all scales and areas of application. The result is an essential resource in this critical ongoing area of biomedical research.
An Overview of Biomedical Implants readers will also find:
- Description of the relationship between every specific biomaterial and its role in each major implant category
- Detailed discussion of nanoscale to molecular-scale to industrial-scale biomaterials
- Concrete examples in every chapter, along with a list of pertinent references
An Overview of Biomedical Implants is ideal for physicians, scientists, and engineers-those working in the area of biomaterials, medical, biological and chemical and applied physics, pharmaceutical science and as a reference for professors and students in these areas.
Tolou Shokuhfar, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at University of Illinois at Chicago. She is a recipient of an NSF CAREER Award that pioneers the visualization of biomineralization, biological materials, nanomaterial/protein interactions and microorganisms in nanoenclosures. She has also received the SFB Ortho SIG Faculty Abstract award, TMS Young Leaders Award, DSL Young Scientist Award, and 'INSIGHT Diversity Award for Inspiring Women in STEM'. Dr. Shokuhfar has been the Chair for Orthopedic Biomaterials SIG and Vice Chair of Nanomaterials SIG at the Society for Biomaterials since 2019.
