Biomedical ImplantsEdition 1

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of implants, from the selection of materials to the outcome of the process. It covers various steps, including biocompatible material, synthesis, and characterization, compatibility and limitations of materials, specific implants, and finite element analysis of medical implants. It also presents a comparison between predictions and experimental results by studying real-world problems and addresses the issue of sustainability in implant manufacturing, process modeling, and optimization in additive manufacturing supported by case studies.

Features:

• Covers the development of implants from the selection of material to the suitable process of manufacturing technologies
• Includes biocompatible material, synthesis, characterization, compatibility, and limitations of materials
• Reviews biofabrication in terms of artificial organs and soft tissues
• Discusses implant manufacturing, including additive and micro-manufacturing and failure analysis through case studies
• Addresses the issue of sustainability in implant manufacturing

This book is intended for researchers and graduate students specializing in mechanical, biomedical, healthcare engineering, biomaterials, and additive manufacturing.
