Biomaterials interact with the living system. Depending on the location and the nature of the biomaterial, the response of the body to the biomaterial may vary. Biomaterial implantation within the host causes an injury. There are two broad phenomenon taking place after every biomaterial implant: tissue response and biomaterial response. The beginning of tissue response is marked by the interaction...
Surface properties hold great importance in the response of biomaterials to the host. For better host response, surface modification can be implemented. This chapter describes various methods for the surface modification applied for improving biomaterials surfaces. The surface properties of biomaterials that are important for acceptance in the host include chemical structure, hyrophilicity/hydrophobicity,...
This chapter deals with the various applications of biomaterials and their specific properties required for those applications. It discusses the basic structure of natural bone, which is a most important part toward implanted materials into a host. The presence of composite structure of mineral microcrystal and protein leads to stiffness of bone. The materials used in the fabrication of bone implants...
