BiomMedD V

This special collection is devoted to current trends and developments in the field of biomaterials, tissue engineering and medical devices.

This volume targets basic research and developments ranging from experimental and theoretical aspects about biomaterials to final applications of biomaterials in orthopedics and dentistry.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The 29 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Nanomaterials, Metallic Biomaterials & Coatings; Chapter 2: Bioceramics & Biocomposites; Chapter 3: Biopolymers, Biocompatibility & Drug Delivery; Chapter 4: Bioengineering; Chapter 5: Biomaterials Application in Surgery;Chapter 6: Dental MaterialsExtended versions of 29 papers report findings on nanomaterials, metallic biomaterials, and coatings; bioceramics and biocomposites; biopolymers, biocompatibility, and drug delivery; bioengineering; biomaterials applications in surgery; and dental materials.

Among specific topics are the structural analysis of steels by cavitation erosion, the response and adhesive strength of titanium and hydroxyapatite bilayer films on polyetheretherketone substrate, biopolymer blends as potential biomaterials and cosmetic materials, investigating a mechanical valve impairment after eight years of implantation, and the numerical analysis of stresses and strains in a bone-implant assembly.
