Dr. Shokuhfar has been the Chair for Orthopedic Biomaterials SIG and Vice Chair of Nanomaterials SIG at the Society for Biomaterials since 2019. Klappentext "Biomaterials form the backbone of many major biomedical implants. They encompass everything from the more traditional biomaterials used in implants such as metals and metal alloys used in orthopedic surgeries (e.g., prosthetic hip and knee joints); devices for the cardiovascular system (e.g., stents; heart valves; pacemakers); dental implants and restorations; polymers for ocular implants (e.g., intraocular lens) as well as emerging biomaterials used in next generation of the implants mentioned above, nanobiomaterials for regenerative implants and even drug delivery implants. Currently estimated at approximately $100 billion annually in the US alone, the implant industry is estimated to grow considerably with an aging population and the demand for improved healthcare worldwide. Scientists and engineers involved in research and development efforts in the biomedical industry often wish to broaden their background in implant biomaterials. Consequently, there is a recognized demand for appropriate books in the area of biomaterials implants. However there are no comprehensive book available that describes both traditional and advanced next generation biomaterials for all types of implants currently used in human body"-- Inhaltsverzeichnis Contents 1.

This book describes cases of innovations in biomaterials used for in major biomedical implants for human body contributing to advancement of tissue regeneration and/or regenerative medicine for the enhancement of human life. These biomaterials are either in the laboratory stage ready for marketing or at the industrial stage where they are commercially implemented, or in the development stage. The cases cover all scales from nanoscale to molecules, processes, industrial sites, regions, the world and most industries. For each case the contribution of that specific biomaterial to development of the specific implant is clearly described and explained from its origin to its next generation.

The book provides an indispensable resource for an interdisciplinary audience composed of medical and dental students, researchers in the biomedical industry, and students with science and engineering backgrounds who have an interest in biomaterials. While the focus is on major biomaterials used in implants, the book also describes conventional and emerging biomaterials and shows how these are applied for next generation implants. Each chapter includes examples, and a list of pertinent references.
