Publisher's Synopsis
This work contains the latest research on the increasingly important and wide-ranging role of bioceramics in medicine. Contributions from internationally renowned scientists and researchers reflect the rapid developments occurring in major areas of ceramic materials used in orthopaedic, cardiovascular, dental and other applications.;"Bioceramics", volume 8, is the edited proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine, held in Florida, USA in November 1995. The symposium provided a valuable forum in which important work in the field of bioceramics was presented.;This up-to-date and comprehensive account of current work in bioceramics should be a useful reference document for academic and industrial researchers in the field, and it should also be of great value to students and lecturers in materials science, medical engineering and clinical implantology. The book contains 115 high quality photographs, and contains both an author index and a subject index.
