Emerging Materials and Technologies for Bone Repair and Regeneration

This book emphasizes on advancement in the field of bone repair and regeneration. It introduces bone development, repair and regeneration emphasizing the correlation of the processes including details about different biomaterials and technologies involved in the fabrication, characterization of bone related scaffolds and implants. The realm of nanotechnological intervention and folklore phytomedicines and their prospects in regenerating bone is explored including major bone related disease conditions, infection, and their tackling via tissue engineering strategies.

Features:

• Covers polymer materials and technologies for bone repair and regeneration based on tissue engineering
• Defines the interdisciplinary mechanism of bone tissue repair ranging from the fields of material science, nanotechnology, and phytomedicine
• Includes basic sciences, scaffold-based approach, and bone infection
• Examines fabrication and characterization methods required for finalizing the bone repair materials
• Reviews fundamentals of interlinked mechanisms of bone development, repair, and regeneration

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in biomedical and tissue engineering, and biomaterial sciences.
