Introduction to Biomaterials

About this book

Biomaterials bridge biology and engineering by creating substances that interact safely and effectively with living systems. They are foundational in medical devices, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. Introduction to Biomaterials provides a comprehensive overview of the design, properties, and applications of materials used in biomedical contexts. The book discusses metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites for implants and prosthetics. It also covers biocompatibility, degradation, and regulatory considerations. With an interdisciplinary perspective, it helps students and researchers understand how materials science contributes to medical innovation and human health advancement.
