Description of Biomaterials Science An Introduction to Materials in Medicine
Biomaterials Science: An Introduction to Materials in Medicine was launched as an educational project to provide a nascent biomaterials community with an authoritative tool for training and education. Conceptual background material and a broad overview of applications were both envisioned as being integral to the textbook.
In the late 1980s, biomaterials was in transition from an emerging field to a respected discipline embracing convergence (i.e., the merging of expertise from different “silos,” such as provided by engineers, biomedical scientists and physicians) – the biomaterials community was in need of an integrated, comprehensive, and definitive educational resource.
This rationale for launching the textbook has been validated by the success of earlier editions of Biomaterials Science: An Introduction to Materials in Medicine well over 25,000 copies have contributed to the biomaterials education of students and researchers around the world. The second edition has been widely adopted for classroom use and is a reference resource for thousands of biomaterials professionals.
