Biomaterials are materials used to replace or repair damaged tissue or organs in the body. They have a wide range of applications in medicine and healthcare, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, and medical devices.

The field of biomaterials is rapidly evolving, with new materials being developed all the time. These new materials offer a number of advantages over traditional materials, including improved biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity.

This comprehensive book provides an extensive overview of the rapidly evolving field of biomaterials, discussing the latest advances in materials research and applications in medicine and healthcare. The book is divided into four parts:

1. to biomaterials
2. Biomaterials for tissue engineering
3. Biomaterials for drug delivery
4. Biomaterials for medical devices

Each part of the book is written by a team of experts in the field, and provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research and developments. The book is also richly illustrated with figures and tables, making it an essential resource for anyone working in the field of biomaterials.
