โฆ Synopsis
This work focuses on basic concepts and recent advances in the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. It covers a broad spectrum of biomaterials processing and structural characteristics including discussions of biocomposites, bioglasses and issues concerning biocompatibility and tissue engineering. The text also gives the necessary theoretical background as well as a wide range of practical applications. The level and style make it accessible not only to scientific and medical researchers but also to graduate students.
