Biomaterials Fabrication and Processing Handbook brings together various biomaterials production and processing aspects, including tissue engineering scaffold materials, drug delivery systems, nanobiomaterials, and biosensors.

Biomaterials Fabrication and Processing Handbook:

• Focuses on a variety of fabrication and processing aspects of the latest biomaterials
• Discusses how scaffolds are used in tissue engineering
• Examines the important role nanotechnology plays in the preparation of drugs, protein delivery, tissue engineering, cardiovascular biomaterials, hard tissue replacements, biosensors, and bio-MEMS
• Describes common implant materials, such as hard tissue, blood contacting, and soft tissue
• Explains how to improve the blood compatibility of biomaterials using a novel antithrombin–heparin covalent complex and how to modify the surface of biomaterials using plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition

Biomaterials Fabrication and Processing Handbook provides detailed, practical information to produce and use biomaterials.
