The papers were selected by reviewing the full papers of authors whose abstracts submitted to the Symposium were accepted after a blind peer-reviewing process, and reflected the most recent progress made in the study of bioceramics and their applications in medicine. The papers are focused not just on synthesis, processing and characterization of bioceramics, but also on surface modification, tissue engineering, nanomaterials and drug delivery. Which means that bioceramics are facing advanced towards the regeneration of the tissue by biomimetic design of structure and integration of biological function to optimize the tissue response. The strong contribution related to the application of bioceramics and composite materials in dentistry and orthopedics presented in this book confirm the importance of these materials for clinical practice in medical units.
The volume contains selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2012 International Conference on Biomaterial and Bioengineering (ICBB 2012), December 19-20, 2012, Hong Kong.
The papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Advanced Bio-, Medical-Material Technology and Application;
Chapter 2: Advanced Bio and Medical Engineering, Applications of Bioinformatics and Genetic Engineering;
Chapter 3: Advanced Material Science and Engineering, Applications of Materials in Manufacturing Processes;
Chapter 4: Advanced Manufacturing and Computer Engineering, Applications of Automation.
This book comprises 343 peer-reviewed papers on Biotechnology, Chemical and Materials Engineering, and is intended to promote the development of these subject-areas by strengthening international academic cooperation and communication, and by exchanging research ideas. This work provides readers with a broad overview of the latest advances in the fields of biotechnology and chemical and materials engineering.

The Bioceramics 21 Proceedings includes a section which is devoted to theoretical modelling; an important and new issue which involves several fields of knowledge. This trend is reflected by the high number of papers involving both biological and materials sciences. Following the evolution of regenerative medicine, a third generation of bioceramics is represented in these Proceedings by the variety of papers on tissue engineering, nanotechnology and smart materials.
