Chapter 1Introduction

Rezaie, Hamid Reza; Bakhtiari, Leila; Öchsner, Andreas

Pages: 1 –18

[Biomaterials are synthetic or natural materials intended to function appropriately in a biological environment in which they are used to direct, supplement or replace the functions of living tissues of the human body. After the invention of first generation of materials during 1960–1970 for use...

Chapter 2Application of Biomaterials

Rezaie, Hamid Reza; Bakhtiari, Leila; Öchsner, Andreas

Pages: 19 –24

[The main applications of biomaterials can be classified into the categories below and described later: Cardiovascular medical devices (stents, grafts and etc.), Orthopedic and dental applications (implants, tissue engineered scaffolds and etc.), Ophthalmologic applications (contact lenses,...

Chapter 3Bio-implants and Bio-devices

Rezaie, Hamid Reza; Bakhtiari, Leila; Öchsner, Andreas

Pages: 25 –32

[A proper design of an implant material is aimed to provide the required durability, functionality and biological response. Durability and functionality depends on the bulk properties of the material, whereas biological response depends on the surface chemistry, surface topography, surface...
