Synopsis

This book presents a broad scope of the field of biomaterials science and technology, focusing on theory, advances and applications. It is written for those who would like to develop their interest and knowledge towards biomaterials or materials science and engineering. All aspects of biomaterials science are thoroughly addressed, from basic principles of biomaterials, organs and medical devices to advanced topics such as tissue engineering, surface engineering, sterilization techniques, 3D printing and drug delivery systems. Readers are also introduced to major concepts of surface modification techniques, and potential applications of different classes of biomaterials. Multiple-choice questions at the end of every chapter will be helpful for students to test their understanding of each topic, with answers provided at the end of the book.

Ultimately, this book offers a one-stop source of information on the essentials of biomaterials and engineering. It is useful both as an introduction and advanced reference on recent advances in the biomaterials field. Suitable readers include undergraduate and graduate students, especially those in Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dr A Sandeep Kranthi Kiran is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). He received his PhD degree from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India and NUS, Singapore under the prestigious ""IIT Madras-NUS Joint PhD Doctoral Programme"". For the year 2019–2020 he received the Institute Research Award from IIT Madras on recognition of quantity and quality of research work done in his doctoral studies. His research interests include the fabrication of electrospun nanostructure materials, 3D printing, metallic nanostructured biomaterials, and antimicrobial ceramic coatings. He is currently working on the development of anti-viral coatings for 3D printed facemasks.

Professor Seeram Ramakrishna, FREng is the Director of Center for Nanofibers and Nanotechnology at National University of Singapore. He is regarded as the guru of electrospinning and nanofibers. Microsoft Academic ranked him among the top 36 salient authors out of three million materials researchers worldwide. He is named among the World's Most Influential Minds (Thomson Reuters), and the Top 1% Highly Cited Researchers in materials science and cross-field categories (Clarivate Analytics). He received his PhD from University of Cambridge, UK; and TGMP from Harvard University, USA. He is appointed as the Honorary Everest Chair of MBUST, Nepal. He is an elected Fellow of UK Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng); Singapore Academy of Engineering; Indian National Academy of Engineering; ASEAN Academy of Engineering & Technology; International Union of Societies of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE); Institution of Engineers Singapore; ISTE, India; Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, UK; American Association of the Advancement of Science; ASM International; American Society for Mechanical Engineers; American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineering; and International Association of Advanced Materials (FIAAM). He chairs the Circular Economy taskforce at NUS, and is a member of Enterprise Singapore's and International Standards Organization's Committees on ISO/TC323 Circular Economy and Circularity. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Springer Nature journal Materials Circular Economy. He is an editorial board member of Springer Nature journal Advanced Fiber Materials; Elsevier journal Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering; and Nature journal Scientific Reports.
