Introduction

This reference is a guide to biomaterial fabrication techniques. The book comprises ten chapters introducing the reader to a range of biomaterial synthesis while highlighting biomedical applications. Each chapter presents a review of the topic followed by updated information about relevant core and applied concepts in an easy to understand format. The first two chapters present vital information about biomaterial components, such as polymer nanocomposites and scaffolds, and the strategies used for their fabrication. The proceeding chapters explain the principles of the most widely used fabrication techniques, and their application in detail. These include freeze drying, electrospinning, 3D printing, multiphoton lithography, particulate leaching, supramolecular self assembly, solvent casting and melt molding. The book is an essential primer on biomaterial synthesis for students and early career researchers in the field of biomedical engineering, applied chemistry and tissue engineering.

Audience:

Students and early career researchers involved in biomedical engineering, applied chemistry and tissue engineering.

Foreword

This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative overview of advancements in scaffold manufacture and uses in tissue engineering, combining the foundations for a wide understanding of scaffolds for tissue growth and development. The chapters cover a wide range of issues, including innovative materials and methodologies for scaffold preparation, difficulties, and future prospects. The chapters include topics such as novel materials and techniques for scaffold preparation, challenges, future prospects, and much more. The authors have carefully analyzed and summarized recent research findings in the aforementioned areas, providing an in-depth understanding of scaffold that maintains a balance among a variety of topics related to tissue engineering, including biology, chemistry, material science, and engineering, among others, while prioritizing study topics that are likely to be useful in the future.
