    Aims and Scope

    The success of any implants and medical devices depends very much on the biomaterials used and the understanding of tissue-biomaterial interface. These biomaterials would include biological (such as collagen, polysaccharides and chitin) and synthetic materials (such as metals, polymers, ceramics and composites).

    The aim of this Series is to provide updated information on engineering and processing aspects of biomaterials. This would include the biocompatibility issues, engineering and biological design philosophy, the interaction between the host tissue and the biomaterials interface, novel tissue engineering methodologies to regenerate tissues and organs, the use of computer-assisted methods, manufacturing details, sterilization techniques and quality control issues. Of importance is the relationship between material properties, processing methods and design.

    As the target audiences cover a wide interdisciplinary field of people ranging from engineers, scientists, clinicians and technologists to graduate students, the content of each chapter will be written with a detailed background so that the audience of another discipline will be able to understand.
