Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zqr5bg/characterization)
has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new book
"Characterization of Biomaterials" to their offering.
Biomaterials and medical devices must be rigorously tested in the
laboratory before they can be implanted. Testing requires the right
analytical techniques. Characterization of biomaterials reviews the
latest methods for analyzing the structure, properties and behaviour of
biomaterials.
Beginning with an introduction to microscopy techniques for analyzing
the phase nature and morphology of biomaterials, Characterization of
biomaterials goes on to discuss scattering techniques for structural
analysis, quantitative assays for measuring cell adhesion, motility and
differentiation, and the evaluation of cell infiltration and tissue
formation using bioreactors. Further topics considered include studying
molecular-scale protein-surface interactions in biomaterials, analysis
of the cellular genome and abnormalities, and the use of microarrays to
measure cellular changes induced by biomaterials. Finally, the book
concludes by outlining standards and methods for assessing the safety
and biocompatibility of biomaterials.
With its distinguished editors and international team of expert
contributors, Characterization of biomaterials is an authoritative
reference tool for all those involved in the development, production and
application of biomaterials.

-
Microscopy techniques for analyzing the phase nature and morphology of
