| Summary |
Annotation Park (U. of Iowa) and Bronzino (Trinity College) describe advances in the field of biomaterials in areas including biotechnology, science, and surgical techniques and instruments, and detail the uses of biomaterials in medicine and dentistry. Biomaterials including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and tissue-derived biomaterials are reviewed, guidelines are given for storage and preservation of biomaterials, and hip joint prosthesis problems and solutions are examined. Some 100 b&w photos of equipment and micro images of materials are included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
