This book highlights the latest cutting-edge advances in implantable biomaterials. It brings
together a class of advanced biomaterials in two highly active research areas namely implants
and tissue scaffolds to underline their respective functional requirements for further
development. It is unique in providing a full range of methodological procedures including
materials syntheses characterisation cellular tests and mathematical modelling. Covering
metallic ceramic polymeric and composite materials commonly used in biological applications
and clinical therapeutics it is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to further their
understanding of the latest developments in implantable biomaterials. Focusing on biomedical
applications in implants and scaffolds it provides methodological guides to this rapidly
growing field.Qing Li and Yiu-Wing Mai are both professors at the University of Sydney School
of Aerospace Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering.
