Nano- and Biocomposites

Advances in nanotechnology are leading to the creation of composites with a myriad of medical applications. This forward-thinking book melds research in biocomposites with advances in nanocomposite technology to provide an interdisciplinary resource on advanced materials for the biomedical industry. It brings together pioneering researchers who describe their contributions to the field. Among other areas, they cover nanostructured polymer composites and nano/bio composites. They look at developments in tissue engineering, safer resins for tooth and bone repair, and improved artificial joints. They also discuss potential opportunities for continued research in this well-funded field.
