Editors: Murphy, William, Black, Jonathan, Hastings, Garth (Eds.)

Provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of biomaterial properties
Includes new areas such as diseased tissue properties
Gives updates of existing materials such as alumina, UHMWPE, elastomers, HA, titanium inc microstructure diagrams, degradable biomaterials, composites; scaffold materials for tissue engineering; new surface modification technology; dental implants; sterilization effects on material properties; new metallic alloys and much more

This book provides tabular and text data relating to normal and diseased tissue materials and materials used in medical devices. Comprehensive and practical for students, researchers, engineers, and practicing physicians who use implants, this book considers the materials aspects of both implantable materials and natural tissues and fluids. Examples of materials and topics covered include titanium, elastomers, degradable biomaterials, composites, scaffold materials for tissue engineering, dental implants, sterilization effects on material properties, metallic alloys, and much more. Each chapter author considers the intrinsic and interactive properties of biomaterials, as well as their appropriate applications and historical contexts. Now in an updated second edition, this book also contains two new chapters on the cornea and on vocal folds, as well as updated insights, data, and citations for several chapters.

Polystyrene: Properties, Performance, and Applications

Polystyrene: Properties, Performance, and Applications (Materials Science and Technologies) by James E. Gray
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1612091172 | 188 pages | PDF | 9,7 MB

Polystyrene is a common thermoplastic polymer made from the aromatic monomer styrene with good formability. It is widely used in automotive, electrical and electronic connector systems. This book presents current research in the study of polystyrene, including polystyrene attrition during chemical engineering processes; the biodegradability of polystyrene; the role of adhesion mechanisms of particles on modified polypropylene; direct fluorination of polystyrene; the applications of polystyrene into various sensing platforms; electrospun polystyrene fibers and superhydrophobic surfaces and the synthesis of end-functionalized syndiotactic polystyrene.

Plants with Anti-Diabetes Mellitus Properties

Plants with Anti-Diabetes Mellitus Properties by Appian Subramoniam
2016 | ISBN: 1482249898 | English | 605 pages | PDF | 17 MB

The incidence and severity of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide, presenting a significant burden to society both in economic terms and overall well-being. Fortunately, time-tested anti-diabetes mellitus plant foods exist that are safe and could be effective in addressing this condition when consumed judiciously with a concomitant change in lifestyle.

Plants with Anti-Diabetes Mellitus Properties presents an exhaustive compilation of the anti-diabetes mellitus activities of more than 1000 plants occurring worldwide. The author provides a brief botanical description, distribution, pharmacological properties, and phytochemicals, where appropriate. A list of traditional medicinal plants used to treat diabetes, but not tested for anti-diabetic activity, is also given.

This unique reference highlights anti-diabetes mellitus plant foods along with a list of the edible parts of plants with anti-diabetes mellitus properties. Anti-diabetes mellitus nutraceuticals are described with guidelines for the development of food supplements and formulations of diets appropriate for diabetic patients. This is a valuable source of information for researchers, students, doctors, diabetic patients, and other individuals wanting to learn more about plant-based treatments for diabetes mellitus.

Functional and Physical Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites

Functional and Physical Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites by Aravind Dasari, James Njuguna
2016 | ISBN: 1118542320 | English | 216 pages | PDF | 20 MB

The first book to extensively cover nanoparticles, this addresses some of the key issues in nanocomposites.

Polymer nanocomposites (polymers reinforced with nanoparticles), are of great interest due to their remarkable mechanical, thermal, chemical properties as well as optical, electronic, and magnetic applications

Potential applications include automobile body parts, high-barrier packaging materials, flame-retardants, scratch-resistant composites, and biodegradable nanocomposites

Combines basic theory as well as advanced and in-depth knowledge of these properties

Broad audience includes researchers in Materials Science, Physics, Polymer Chemistry, and Engineering, and those in industry
