| Description: | This volume in the Bioceramics series includes the papers selected for the 21st International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine held in Búzios, Brazil, on the 21-24 October 2008. The Bioceramics 21 Proceedings includes a section which is devoted to theoretical modelling; an important and new issue which involves several fields of knowledge. This trend is reflected by the high number of papers involving both biological and materials sciences. Following the evolution of regenerative medicine, a third generation of bioceramics is represented in these Proceedings by the variety of papers on tissue engineering, nanotechnology and smart materials. The contents are grouped into: I - Bioceramics Certification: In Vitro, Pre-Clinical and Clinical Evaluation, II - Bioceramics Functionalization: Biomolecule Interactions, III - Biocompatible Glasses and Glass-Ceramic Composites, IV - Bio-inert Ceramics and Tough Ceramics, V - Biomineralization and Biomimetics, VI - Bone Grafts and Cements, VII - Coatings, Films and Surface Activation on Metals, VIII - Composites and Hybrid Materials, IX - Drug Delivery System, X - Metal Uptake: Phosphate-Based Materials for Health and Environmental Applications, XI - Nanostructured Bioceramics, XII - Porous Bioceramics Scaffolds and Tissue Engineering, XIII - Theoretical Modelling of Bioceramics. This work will therefore be invaluable to materials scientists, bio-engineers, molecular and cellular biologists, bone biologists and clinicians. |
