Bioceramics: Properties, Characterization, and Applications will be a general
introduction to the uses of ceramics and glasses in the human body for the
purposes of aiding, healing, correcting deformities, and restoring lost
function. With over 30 years experience, the author developed the text as an
outgrowth of an undergraduate course for senior students in biomedical
engineering and will emphasize the fundamentals and applications in modern
implant fabrication, and will also deal with tissue engineering scaffolds made
of ceramics. Organized as a textbook for the student needing to acquire the core
competencies, it will meet the demands of advanced undergraduate or graduate
coursework in bioceramics, biomaterials, biomedical engineering, and
