Product Description
Intended for use in an introductory course on biomaterials, taught primarily in departments of biomedical engineering. The book covers classes of materials commonly used in biomedical applications, followed by coverage of the biocompatibility of those materials with the biological environment. Finally, it covers some in-depth applications of biomaterials. It does all of this with an overall emphasis on tissue engineering.

 Good Book but Expensive February 21, 2009

This is a good book but very expensive for what you get. It's only about an inch thick and not one color picture, however my professor follows the book almost exactly. To me, that implies that it's well written, in terms of how it introduces material (starting with atomic properties and then, chapter-by-chapter, moving to larger scale properties).
 Not worth the money January 29, 2009

This text is very simplistic and omits a great deal of information making it not very useful for anything above the high school level. It gives a cursory glance to a wide array of ideas but never really goes into any depth. If you want to do a high school science report, this book is great. If you want to learn about biomaterials or are doing research into biomaterials, this text will leave you disappointed.
