| Description: | Since their inception, the Bioceramics meetings have provided a treasure- house of invaluable information for both scientists and clinicians in the medical field. This volume of the Bioceramics series is a collection of papers accepted for the 16th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, held in Porto, Portugal, from the 6th to the 9th of November, 2003. The topics covered by the papers include: Bioactive ceramics, Glass ceramics, Apatites, Coating technologies (chemical and physical), Thin films, Nanotechnology as applied to bioceramics, Hybrids and composites, Zirconia and alumina bioceramics, Bi-material interfaces, Porous bioceramics, Bone cements, Tissue engineering scaffolds (for bone and cartilage repair), Artificial bone grafts, Mechanical properties, Bearing surfaces, Release of biologically active molecules, Injectable materials for bone regeneration, Surface properties vs. biological behaviour, Cell response to ceramics, Platelet adhesion to metal oxides, Antibacterial surfaces and materials, Dental applications, Orthopaedic applications and Animal studies. This book will prove to be an essential reference work for biomedical engineers, biologists, clinicians and scientists. |
