Vesna Mi¿kovi¿-Stankovi¿: Novel Antibacterial Biomaterials for Medical Applications and Modeling of Drug Release..., Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book provides a comprehensive review of synthesis and physicochemical and biological characterization of novel antibacterial biomaterials produced according to original procedures and aimed at medical applications such as wound dressing, soft and hard tissue implants, drug delivery devices, and carriers for cell cultivation. It is intended for all researchers working in the fields of biomaterials and biomedical engineering, as well as medical professionals, science and engineering graduate students, academics, and industrial researchers.

• Includes in-depth discussions on synthesis and physicochemical characterization of novel poly vinyl alcohol-based hydrogels aimed at wound dressings and soft tissue implants
• Explores synthesis and physicochemical characterization of novel bioceramic hydroxyapatite-based coatings on metal surface aimed for hard tissue implants
• Reviews cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity of novel poly vinyl alcohol-based hydrogels aimed for wound dressing and soft tissue implants
• Discusses cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity of bioceramic hydroxyapatite-based coatings on metal surface aimed for hard tissue implants
• Provides original fractional derivative models of drug release process from hydrogels and bioceramic coatings on metal surface and explores diffusion mechanism
