Despite advances in alternative materials, metals are still the biomaterial of choice for a number of clinical applications such as dental, orthopedic and cardiac implants. However, there are a number of intrinsic problems associated with implanting metal in the biological environment, such as wear, corrosion, biocompatibility and toxicity, which must be addressed. Modern technology has enabled scientists to modify metal surfaces or apply special coatings to metals to improve their performance safety. Surface Coating and Modification of Metallic Biomaterials will discuss the most important modification techniques and coatings for metals, first covering the fundamentals of metals as a biomaterial and then exploring surface modification techniques and coatings.
Part One: Fundamentals of surface coating and modification of metallic biomaterials 1 Introduction to surface coating and modification for metallic biomaterials 2 Surface properties and characterization of biomedical applications
Part Two: Surface modification techniques for metallic biomaterials 3 Laser surface modification of metallic biomaterials 4 Plasma surface modification of metallic biomaterials 5 Chemical surface modification of metallic biomaterials 6 Sol-gel surface modification of metallic biomaterials 7 Biomimetic surface modification of metallic biomaterials 8 New nanoscale surface modification of metallic biomaterials
Part Three: Applications of surface modification and coatings 9 Functionalization of metallic surfaces for biomedical applications 10 Corrosion in Mg and its surface modification for biomedical applications 11 Biocompatible coatings for metallic biomaterials 12 Coatings for osseointegration of metallic biomaterials 13 Bioactive polymer-calcium phosphate composite coatings by EPD 14 Antibacterial coatings for metallic biomaterials 15 Degradable coatings for metallic biomaterials
