About the Book

A balanced approach to understanding the response of living tissues and systems to manufactured biomaterials and the effect of life processes on the properties and behaviour of successful and unsuccessful biomaterials. This third edition contains a glossary of specialized terms; discussion of the emerging area of tissue engineering; more sources; and more tables to additional generic biomaterials properties.

Table of Contents:
General considerations: biocompatibility - definitions and issues; introduction to the biological environment. Material response - function and degradation of materials in vivo: swelling and leaching; corrosion and dissolution; reactions of biological molecules with biomaterial surfaces; mechanics of materials - deformation and failure; friction and wear. Implant materials - properties. Host response - biological effects of implants: the inflammatory process; coagulation and haemolysis; adaptation; in vitro tissue growth and replantation; allergic foreign-body response; chemical and foreign-body carcinogenesis; mineral metabolism; systemic distribution and excretion; effects of degradation products on remote organ functions. Diagnosis of host response. Methods of test for biological performance: in vitro test methods; in vivo implant models; clinical testing of implant materials; design and selection of implant materials; clinical performance of biomaterials.

Review :
"Praise for previous editions. . . . . .very comprehensive, thorough, easy to use. . .the most definitive work yet on this subject." ---Journal of Testing and Evaluation ." . .brings together a vast amount of carefully thought out, revised and updated information. . .. . . .immensely detailed, clearly illustrated, and very useful. . .. . . .essential reading." ---Annals of Biomedical Engineering ." . .each chapter is crisp." ---Journal of the Indian Institute of Science ." . .Jonathan Black is a gifted writer whose book can be easily read by individuals who have basic scientific background and want to obtain some first-hand knowledge of a very complicated subject." ---Journal of the American Chemical Society ." . .recognizes the progress made in the past decade in the field of biomaterials." ---Journal of Clinical Engineering ." . .an excellent introduction. . .. . . .provides a very easy approach." ---European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics "The book is well presented. The illustrations are clear. It is easy to read and always interesting." ---Current Engineering Practice and for the third edition... "The present edition of this book is the result of the 30-year career of the author as student, researcher, and teacher, in the field....highly recommended as a course for the students in biomaterials engineering, and as additional reading material for chemists and materials scientists." ---Iasi Polytechnic Magazine, 2000
