{"product_id":"human-enamel-elegantly-designed-lihong-he-9783639129441","title":"Human Enamel - Elegantly Designed Natural Biocomposite","description":"As the outer cover of teeth, enamel is the hardest, stiffest and one of the most durable load-bearing tissues of the human body. Material scientists are interested in the structure and function of the natural material. How does nature design the material to meet its functional needs? While dental practitioners are keen to know the properties of enamel and compare it with different dental materials. What kind of dental materials can best simulate enamel as a restoration in the oral cavity? The content of this book will attempt to provide answers or indications to the above questions. Bearing the assumption that the hierarchical microstructure and trace protein remnants in enamel regulate the mechanical behaviour of the natural biocomposite in mind, the nano-mechanical properties of human enamel was thoroughly explored by the most-advanced nanoindentation, SEM and vibrational spectroscopy technologies. The outcomes successfully interpreted how microstructural and compositional features of enamel regulate its mechanical behaviour. The new information and analytical methods provided by the book will be of benefit to dental material development, evaluation and selection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lihong He\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 363912944X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639129441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Lihong He","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113841373439,"sku":"9783639129441","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d517a311-466c-455c-85a2-ea64ae7ce862.jpg?v=1769617520","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-enamel-elegantly-designed-lihong-he-9783639129441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
