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.
