Nanoceramics in Clinical Use: From Materials to Applications, 2nd Edition (RSC Nanoscience & Nanotechnology; Number 39) by María Vallet-Regí and Daniel Arcos Navarrete - 2016

Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This volume discusses biomedical applications of nanoceramics that mimic the mineral component of bones (mainly nanoapatites) and bioceramics that reproduce the bone mineralization processes. It discusses biological hard tissues in vertebrates, synthetic apatites, hard tissue-related biomimetism, and apatite-like biomimetic nanoceramics. Revised and updated from the first edition (Biomimetic Nanoceramics in Clinical Use), this edition adds three new chapters on mesoporous materials, mesoporous nanoceramics for drug delivery, and magnetic nanoceramics for biomedical applications.
