Bioceramics 21
Description:
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
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.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
In this valuable contribution to the field of bioceramics, ceramics used in the field of medicine, Prado (Military Institute of Engineering, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Zavaglia (mechanical engineering, U. Estadual de Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil) introduce selected papers from a symposium at the Annual Meeting of the International Society for Ceramics in Medicine (ISCM) held from October 21-24, 2008. These proceedings represent a new generation of bioceramics in regenerative medicine with papers on nanotechnology, tissue engineering (e.g., bone scaffolds), and biocompatible "smart" materials for health and environmental applications, and also present a section devoted to the important new multidisciplinary area of theoretical modeling of bioceramics. The volume includes a CD-ROM with the full papers, numerous illustrations, and lists of the ISCM organizing committees and the bioceramics symposia held since 1988.
