Biosurfaces de Kantesh Balani

Biosurfaces

Autor Kantesh Balani, Vivek Verma, Arvind Agarwal, Roger Narayan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 ian 2015
Ideal as a graduate textbook, this title is aimed at helping design effective biomaterials, taking into account the complex interactions that occur at the interface when a synthetic material is inserted into a living system. Surface reactivity, biochemistry, substrates, cleaning, preparation, and coatings are presented, with numerous case studies and applications throughout. Highlights include: * Starts with concepts and works up to real-life applications such as implantable devices, medical devices, prosthetics, and drug delivery technology * Addresses surface reactivity, requirements for surface coating, cleaning and preparation techniques, and characterization * Discusses the biological response to coatings * Addresses biomaterial-tissue interaction * Incorporates nanomechanical properties and processing strategies

Public țintă

Ideal as a graduate textbook, this book is aimed at helping design effective biomaterials, taking into account the complex interactions that occur at the interface when a synthetic material is inserted into a living system.  Surface reactivity, biochemistry, substrates, cleaning, preparation, and coatings are presented, with numerous case studies and applications throughout.
This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to the paradigm of biosurfaces and biomaterials through experts working in the arena of interfacing materials with bio–engineering. Starting with the concepts of biomaterials, the book builds upon the real–life applications elucidating the contrasting requirements of materials in their interfaces with biological environment. A birdseye overview of critical requirements is provided, followed by a description of the fundamental mechanisms of protein adsorption, platelet and cell–adhesion.  Case studies on mechanical properties, and laser engineering of surfaces that fulfill the critical requirements in constructing successful implants are included.  The concept of non–wetting, required especially for anti–biofouling surfaces, via super–hydrophobicity will be discussed.  Ethics, legal issues, and a perspective on the future of the biomaterials field conclude the book.
