Series Preface
In the past few decades there has been growing interest in the design and imple-
mentation of advanced materials for new biomedical applications. The develop-
ment of these materials has been facilitated by multiple factors, especially the
introduction of new engineering tools and technologies, emerging biomedical
needs, and socioeconomic considerations. Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary
field encompassing contributions from biology, medicine, chemistry, and materi-
als science. In this context, new materials have been developed or reinvented to
fulfillthe need for modernand improvedengineered biodevices.
A multivolume series, Materials for Biomedical Engineering highlights the
mostrelevantfindingsand discusseskeytopics inthis impressiveresearch field.
Volume 1. Bioactive Materials: Properties and Applications, offers an intro-
duction to bioactive materials, discussing the main properties, applications, and
perspectives of materials with medical applications. This volume reviews recently
developed materials, highlighting their impact in tissue engineering and the detec-
tion, therapy, andprophylaxis ofvarious diseases.
Volume2. ThermosetandThermoplastic Polymers,analyzes the main applica-
tions of advanced functional polymers in the biomedical field. In recent years
there has been a revolution in thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers with
medical and biological uses, which are currently being developed for medical
devices, drugdelivery, tailored textiles, packaging, and tissue engineering.
Volume 3. Absorbable Polymers, describes the main types of polymers of dif-
ferent compositions with bioabsorbable and biodegradable properties. The
biomedical applications of such materials are reviewed and the most innovative
findings are presentedinthisvolume.
Volume 4. Biopolymer Fibers, highlights the applications of polymeric fibers
of natural biological origin in biomedical engineering. Such materials are of great
utility intissue engineering and biodegradable textiles.
Volume 5. Inorganic Micro- and Nanostructures and Volume 6. Organic
Micro- and Nanostructures, deal, respectively, with the preparation and properties
of inorganic and organic nanostructured materials with biomedical applications.
Volume 7. Hydrogels and Polymer-Based Scaffolds, discusses the recent prog-
ress made in the field of polymeric materials designed as scaffolds and tools for
tissue engineering. The technological challenges and advances intheir production,
as well as current applications in the production of scaffolds and devices for
regenerative medicine are presented.
Volume 8. Bioactive Materials for Antimicrobial, Anticancer, and Gene
Therapy, offers an updated perspective regarding new bioactive materials with
potential in the therapy of severe diseases such as infections, cancer, and genetic
disorders.
