Advances in Metallic Biomaterials e-bog

This book covers the latest advances in processing techniques for producing metallic biomaterial implants. It also discusses recent developments in surface modifications using bioactive ceramics and blood-compatible polymers, as well as the adhesive strength of bioactive surface layers, before introducing the practical applications of metallic biomaterials in the fields of surgery and dentistry. As such, the book provides an essential reference guide for researchers, graduate students and clinicians working in the fields of materials, surgery, dentistry, and mechanics.Mitsuo Niinomi, PhD, D.D.Sc., is a Professor at the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, JapanTakayuki Narushima, PhD, is a Professor at the Department of Materials Processing, Tohoku University, JapanMasaaki Nakai, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, Japan
