Böcker av Yoshiko Oshida

This new book synthesizes a wide range of interdisciplinary literatureto provide the state-of-the art of biomedical implants. It discussesmaterials and explains the three basic requirements for implant successfrom a surface engineering perspective: biological compatibility,biomechanical compatibility, morphological compatibility.Biomedical, mechanical, and materials engineers will find this bookindispensable for understanding proper treatment of implant surfacesin order to achieve clinical success. Highlights include:¿ Coverage of surface engineering of polymer, metallic, ceramicand composite implant materials;¿ Coverage of chemical, mechanical, physical, thermal, and combinedsurface modification technologies;¿ Explanations of interfacial reaction between vital tissue andnon-vital implant surface; and¿ Methodologies and technologies for modification of surfacelayer/zone to promote the osteo-integration, the ultimatesuccess for biomedical implants in both dental and medicalpractice.
