Smart Biomimetic Coatings: Design, Properties, and Biomedical Applications

Smart Biomimetic Coatings: Design, Properties and Biomedical Applications summarizes vital research in multifunctional (i.e., anti-corrosion, anti-fouling, and self-cleaning properties) surface coatings in various applications such as orthopedic and dental implants, tissue engineering, sensors and more. The book introduces biomimetic coatings, aiding understanding of highly complicated architectures in natural composites, along with discussions on the importance of proper mimicking to achieve composite materials with exceptional performance. The synthesis and unique properties of smart biomimetic coatings are detailed before a wide selection of biomedical applications is explored. This is an important reference of interest to researchers and R&D groups working in materials science, biomedical engineering, tissue engineering, and implant design. Covers core principles, methods of synthesis, unique properties, and the pros and cons of biomimetic materials for coatingsReviews a broad range of biomedical applications for biomimetic coatings, from drug delivery and sensors to anti-corrosion and orthopedicsCombines the principles of engineering, materials science, chemistry, and biology to provide an interdisciplinary overview of smart biomimetic coatings in biomedicine INDICE: 1.
