Full Description
Modern biomedical implants have made a positive contribution to patient quality of life, but their eventual corrosion limits their longevity and efficacy. New developments in surface engineering techniques show promise in extending corrosion resistance in implants, and the development of biocompatible and biodegradable materials offers new opportunities in the development of implants.
Beginning with an overview of corrosion mechanisms and current approaches to surface modification methods, this book also presents the practical applications of the latest materials and techniques available. With an emphasis on clinical translation, covering orthopaedic, dental, cardiovascular, and neural implants, the book bridges the gap between research and clinical practice. With expert contributions from around the globe, the editors aim to inspire future innovation and collaboration between researchers, industry professionals, and clinicians.
