More About This Title Laser Surface Treatment of Bio-Implant Materials
English
- Introduces inter-disciplinary research work covering laser materials processing and surface modification of biomaterials for enhanced compatibility.
- Includes highly scientific and novel research material.
- Serves both as a practitioner guide and a reference book.
- Covers an exciting and rapidly developing area of technology that is of keen interest to engineers and clinicians alike.
Laser Surface Treatment of Bio-Implant Materials is rare in providing a reference source that describes specifically a mechanical engineering solution to a biotechnology problem. It serves as both a practitioner guide and a medium to high-level reference text book, and as such is a reference source for the engineer practising or looking to move into the biomaterials field, undergraduate and post graduate students and those conducting bio-related research in either academia or industry. It will prove useful to mechanical engineers, biotechnologists, biomechanical engineers, metallurgists, clinicians and even surgeons.
