Full Description
Biomaterials for Advanced Manufacturing: Cutting-Edge Technologies and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the manufacturing techniques and approaches for the design and application of biomaterials. The need for materials which are both durable and sustainable is a key challenge faced by many researchers; various design and manufacturing techniques are utilised to emphasise the most vital qualities of biomaterials, crafting them into specialised mediums for a range of biomedical applications. This book reviews a broad selection of these technologies and their associated applications in biomedicine, from laser machining, joining, and electrical discharge machining, through to emerging approaches such as nanotechnology-enabled engineering. This book also highlights the environmental and sustainability aspects of these approaches and biomaterials, with a look toward developing better eco-friendly materials for biomedical applications. Biomaterials for Advanced Manufacturing: Cutting-Edge Technologies and Applications is of interest to researchers and R&D groups interested in evaluating the most effective manufacturing technologies for the development of novel sustainable biomaterials.
