High-Performance Metallic Biomaterials - (Advanced Mechanical Engineering) by Arbind Prasad & Manoj Kumar Sinha & J Paulo Davim (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This book will consist of the development, processing, and manufacturing of high-performance metallic biomaterials in healthcare and biomedical applications in context with surface modification and coating of implants. Bioresorbable metallic composites along with high-performance metallic materials and their processing, and characterizations will be the central theme of the book. Effectively, the variety of fifteen chapters presented in the book will be quite interesting and up-to-date with the scope of future research work. This has the potential to be valuable to researchers in material engineering disciplines, biomedical engineering, and also to clinical professions. The background information and the latest literature review provided in each chapter will be an in-depth analysis of the topic covered in the chapter.
