This book is not a traditional "textbook" and may have disappointed some reviewers. The book is a collection of chapters written by different experts that each focus on a field or sub-discipline of Biomaterials.The first ~1/3 of the book can be used for a traditional Biomaterials course with the remaining chapters used for parts of follow-on electives or as starting points for class research projects.
If you are looking for a book of biomaterials, how they interact with the body, and how to improve them, then this book is as good as it gets.
Very comprehensive summary of the important issues facing biomaterials and application to medical devices. The text provides excellent case example and a great reference.
I mean, I didn't really love the book. I got it for school... but the price was definitely reasonable, and for a textbook it reads well. So that's a plus!
It's a great book, but it's poor explaining the equations and why we should use them
Extremely complete guide. A must for biomaterial courses.
EXCELLENT!!! WOULD BUY AGAIN AT THIS SELLERS!!!
Excellent reference book for biomaterials
