"The Materials Information Society, MPMD-Materials and Processes for Medical Devices."

This book serves as a reference for engineers, scientists, and students concerned with the use of materials in applications where reliability and resistance to corrosion are important. It updates the coverage of its predecessor, including coverage of: corrosion rates of steel in major river systems and atmospheric corrosion rates, the corrosion behavior of materials such as weathering steels and newer stainless alloys, and the corrosion behavior and engineering approaches to corrosion control for nonmetallic materials. New chapters include: high-temperature oxidation of metals and alloys, nanomaterials, and dental materials, anodic protection. Also featured are chapters dealing with standards for corrosion testing, microbiological corrosion, and electrochemical noise.

The Materials & Processes for Medical Devices Conference focuses on the materials science and engineering aspects of the medical devices industry. Device manufacturers, materials providers, and clinicians share information and knowledge on materials and their properties. Coverage ranges from cardiovascular devices to orthopedics to dental appliances. --

This volume includes contributions from the world's foremost experts from academia, industry, and national laboratories involved in cardiac, vascular, neurological, and orthopaedic implants, dental devices, and surgical instrumentation/devices.
