Sobre aquest llibre

Hydroxyapatite coatings are of great importance in the biological and biomedical coatings fields, especially in the current era of nanotechnology and bioapplications. With a bonelike structure that promotes osseointegration, hydroxyapatite coating can be applied to otherwise bioinactive implants to make their surface bioactive, thus achieving faster healing and recovery. In addition to applications in orthopedic and dental implants, this coating can also be used in drug delivery. Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications explores developments in the processing and property characterization and applications of hydroxyapatite to provide timely information for active researchers and newcomers alike.

In eight carefully reviewed chapters, hydroxyapatite experts from the United States, Japan, Singapore, and China present the latest on topics ranging from deposition processes to biomedical applications in implants and drug delivery.

This book discusses:

Magnetron sputtering and electrochemical deposition
The modification of hydroxyapatite properties by sol–gel deposition to incorporate other elements found in natural bones, such as zinc, magnesium, and fluorine
The use of pure hydroxyapatite in drug delivery applications
The growth or self-assembly of hydroxyapatite on shape memory alloy
Hydroxyapatite composite coatings—with carbon nanotubes, titanium dioxide (TiO2), and others—on the titanium alloy

Offering valuable insights and a wealth of data, including numerous tables and figures, this is a rich source of information for research on hydroxyapatite coatings. Each chapter also covers material that provides an accessible stepping stone for those who are new to the field.

Sobre l'autor

Professor Sam Zhang Shanyong, better known as Sam Zhang, received his Ph.D. in ceramics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1991, and is a tenured full professor at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. Professor Zhang serves as editor-in-chief for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Letters and principal editor for Journal of Materials Research (United States). He has been involved in processing and characterization of nanocomposite thin films and coatings for 20 years and has authored or coauthored more than 250 peer-reviewed international journal papers, 8 books, and 20 book chapters, and has guest edited more than 20 journal volumes. His book Materials Characterization Techniques (CRC Press 2008) has been adopted as a textbook by several universities. Other CRC Press books include:

Handbook of Nanostructured Thin Films and Coatings, Three-Volume Set (2010)
Biological and Biomedical Coatings Handbook, Two-Volume Set (2011)
Aerospace Materials Handbook (2012)
