A propos de cet article

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Collagen: Structure and Mechanics provides a cohesive introduction to this biological macromolecule and its many applications in biomaterials and tissue engineering.Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the fields of materials, (bio-)engineering, physics, chemistry and biology will gain an understanding of the structure and mechanical behavior of type I collagen and collagen-based tissues in vertebrates, across all length scales from the molecular (nano) to the organ (macro) level. Written in a clear and didactic manner, this volume includes current knowledge on the hierarchical structure, mechanical properties, in addition to a review of deformation and strengthening mechanisms.Collagen: Structure and Mechanics is an excellent reference for new researchers entering this areaand serves as a basis for lecturing in the interdisciplinary field of biological materials science.

Synopsis

This book provides a cohesive introduction to macromolecule collagen and its many applications in biomaterials and tissue engineering. Graduate students and researchers in the fields of materials science, bioengineering, physics, chemistry, and biology gain an understanding of the structure and mechanical behavior of type I collagen and collagen-based tissues in vertebrates. The book covers all length scales from the molecular to the organ level. Clearly written and easy to follow, it includes the most current understanding of collagen's hierarchical structure, mechanical properties, and deformation and strengthening mechanisms.
