Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Ahmed (Advanced Digital Manufacturing Centre, U. of Central Lancashire, UK) et al. compile 13 chapters that present recent research and development and applications in biomedical engineering, biomaterials and nanomaterials science. They emphasize the convergence of nano-scale effects and their relationship to the delivery of enhanced biofunctionality. Specific topics include health hazards of materials, the integration of microfabrication and surface functionalization strategies, the mechanics of biomimetic/biological vesicles, and engineered titanium surface promoting osseointegration. Others address electrospinning of micro and nano fibers, bioactive glasses, ordered nanoporous silica materials, materials for bone regeneration, approaches to synthesize mineral and mineral/organic materials, fluoridated hydroxyapatite coating on metallic implants, drug delivery system design, microbiological aspects of biomedical devices, and the adsorption of proteins and amino acids onto surfaces. Contributors are researchers in biomedical engineering, biology, materials science, and other fields from the US, the UK, Asia, and Israel.
