Structural Biomaterials: Properties, Characteristics, and Selection serves as a single point of reference to digest current research and develop a deeper understanding in the field of biomaterials engineering. This book uses a materials-focused approach, allowing the reader to quickly access specific, detailed information on biomaterials characterization and selection. Relevant to a range of readers, this book provides holistic coverage of the broad categories of structural biomaterials currently available and used in medical applications, highlighting the property requirements for structural biomaterials, their biocompatibility performance and their safety regulation in key categories such as metals, ceramics and polymers. The materials science perspective of this text ensures the content is accessible even to those without an extensive background in applied medicine, positioning this text not just for students, but as an overview and reference for researchers, scientists and engineers entering the field from related materials science disciplines. - Provides a unique, holistic approach, covering key biomaterials categories in one text, including metals, ceramics and polymers - Discusses advantages, disadvantages, biocompatibility performance and safety regulations, allowing for accurate materials selection in medical applications - Utilizes a materials science perspective, allowing those without an extensive applied medical background to learn about the field

"As in the first edition of this book, we continue to believe that the field of biomaterials has evolved over approximately the past 60+ years from the intersection of multiple disparate viewpoints, including materials science, biology, engineering, and clinical, business, and regulatory perspectives. With this history, the multidisciplinary nature of biomaterials is inescapable. As educators in this field, we understand the challenges of preparing students with a broad range of backgrounds to address the complex issues associated with designing and implementing new biomedical devices. With this in mind, we originally set out to write a balanced and cohesive textbook that would introduce fundamental concepts of biomaterials to undergraduate engineering majors in their second year of study or later. Given this target audience, like the first edition, this text assumes basic knowledge of chemistry and physics, but does not require in-depth exposure to more complex mathematical concepts such as partial differential equations, or any knowledge of cell biology or biochemistry"--
