Inhoudsopgave:
\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvanced Ceramic Coatings for Biomedical Applications\u003c/i\u003e covers tissue engineering, scaffolds, implant and dental application, wound healing and adhesives. The book is one of four volumes that together provide a comprehensive resource in the field of Advanced Ceramic Coatings, also including titles covering: fundamentals, manufacturing, and classification; energy applications; and emerging applications. This books will be extremely useful for academic and industrial researchers and practicing engineers who need to find reliable and up-to-date information about recent progresses and new developments in the field of advanced ceramic coatings. It will also be of value to early career scientists providing background knowledge to the field.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSmart ceramic coatings containing multifunctional components are now finding application in transportation and automotive industries, in electronics, and energy sectors, in aerospace and defense, and in industrial goods and healthcare. Their wide application and stability in harsh environments are only possible due to the stability of the inorganic components used. Ceramic coatings are typically silicon nitride, chromia, hafnia, alumina, alumina-magnesia, silica, silicon carbide, titania, and zirconia-based compositions. The increased demand for these materials and their application in energy, transportation, and the automotive industry, are considered, to be the main drivers.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides comprehensive coverage of biomedical applications of advanced ceramic coatings\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers basic principles of surface chemistry and the fundamentals of ceramic materials and engineering \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures the latest progress and recent technological developments\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes comparisons to other coating types (e.g., polymers, metals, and enamel) to demonstrate the potential, limitations, and differences\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains extensive case studies and worked examples\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
