Abstract
Introduction to Biomaterials: Basic Theory with Engineering Applications is an expertly written and comprehensive textbook that comfortably fills a hole in the market for an up-to-date teaching resource on biomaterials. It covers a range of material types, processing options and characterizations, and describes in detail their multidisciplinary applications. It should appeal to not only undergraduate students of biomedicine and bioengineering but also postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers in material science related to human biological systems.
