Bioceramics 15

Edited by: Besim Ben-Nissan, Doron Sher, William Walsh

Online since: May 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Since their inception Bioceramics meetings have provided a treasure house of information for both scientists and clinicians in the medical field. The clinical applications are numerous, in particular in the areas of orthopaedics, maxillofacial, plastic and ocular surgery, percutaneous devices, tissue engineering and sensors. This volume in addition to research papers contributed also presents selected overviews and discussions on recent bioceramics research and trends.

Bioceramics 14

Edited by: Sharon Brown, Ian Clarke and Paul Williams

Online since: November 2001

Description: Bioceramics has evolved into a major field of study having important implications for humankind’s future health and wellbeing.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The Bioceramics-14 monograph contains more than 160 papers with representations from over 20 countries. The topics range from totally inert, load-bearing materials, such as alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride and diamond to bioreactive materials such as calcium phosphates and bioglasses. The latter have great potential for aiding grafting, bone repair, drug-delivery, and implant-fixation to living tissues.

Bioceramics 13
