Description for Biomimetic Approaches for Biomaterials Development
This fruitful collaboration between materials science, biology and biomedicine for the advancement of biomaterials collects the most promising solutions provided by nature for the field of biomedicine, showing how to achieve the desired functionality by using biomimetics. Editor(s): Mano, Joao F. Num Pages: 606 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: MQW; TCB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 245 x 173 x 35. Weight in Grams: 1430.
Biomimetics, in general terms, aims at understanding biological principles and applying them for the development of man-made tools and technologies. This approach is particularly important for the purposeful design of passive as well as functional biomaterials that mimic physicochemical, mechanical and biological properties of natural materials, making them suitable, for example, for biomedical devices or as scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
The book comprehensively covers biomimetic approaches to the development of biomaterials, including: an overview of naturally occurring or nature inspired biomaterials; an in-depth treatment of the surface aspects pivotal for the functionality; synthesis and self-assembly methods to prepare devices ...
