Due to their desirable attributes such as biocompatibility and osseointegration, as well as their similarity in structure to bone and teeth, ceramic biomaterials have been successfully used in hard tissue applications. In this book, a team of materials research scientists, engineers, and clinicians bridge the gap between materials science and clinical commercialization providing integrated coverage of bioceramics, their applications and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into three parts. The first part is a review of classes of medical-grade ceramic materials, their synthesis and processing as well as methods of property assessment. The second part contains a review of ceramic medical products and devices developed, their evolution, their clinical applications and some of the lessons learned from decades of clinical use. The third part outlines the challenges to improve performance and the directions that novel approaches and advanced technologies are taking, to meet these challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a focus on the dialogue between surgeons, engineers, material scientists, and biologists, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers working toward long-lasting, reliable, customized biomedical ceramic and composites devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paola Palmero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0081008813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780081008812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Woodhead Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Paola Palmero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112808853759,"sku":"9780081008812","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba058441-06ed-4763-84bd-fcf7975b493a.jpg?v=1769611085","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advances-in-ceramic-biomaterials-paola-palmero-9780081008812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
