Details of these and other Woodhead Publishing books and journals can be obtained by: Surfaces and interfaces for biomaterials (ISBN-13: 978-1-85573-930-7 ISBN-10: 1-85573-930-5) This book presents the current level of understanding on the nature of the surface, the adaptive response of the biomatrix to that surface, techniques used in order to modify biocompatibility, and state-of-the-art characterisation techniques to follow the interfacial events that surface. Even the humble plaster has the potential to deliver a powerful health care effect through its specific skin care characteristics and controlled delivery of medications.
They can also be used in the replacement of body parts through tissue engineering by supplying the structure for the growth of new cells. They cover a huge range of applications – from diapers and surgical gowns to substrates for electronic sensoring of vital life signs, external use as wound care and internal use as implantables for biodegradable post-operative support systems. Medical textiles and biomaterials for healthcare (ISBN-13: 978-1-85573-683-2 ISBN-10: 1-85573-683-7) Medical textiles and biomaterials are a significant and increasingly important industry. Emphasis is placed on the various groups of biopolymers including natural polymers, synthetic biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers. Related titles: Biomedical polymers (ISBN-13: 978-1-84569-070-0 ISBN-10: 1-84569-070-2) This book presents a detailed study of the structure, processing and properties of biomedical polymers and the relationship between them.
