Summary

Summary

Comprehensive Biomaterials brings together the myriad facets of biomaterials into one, major series of six edited volumes that would cover the field of biomaterials in a major, extensive fashion:

Volume 1: Metallic, Ceramic and Polymeric BiomaterialsVolume 2: Biologically Inspired and Biomolecular MaterialsVolume 3: Methods of AnalysisVolume 4: Biocompatibility, Surface Engineering, and Delivery Of Drugs, Genes and Other MoleculesVolume 5: Tissue and Organ EngineeringVolume 6: Biomaterials and Clinical Use

Experts from around the world in hundreds of related biomaterials areas have contributed to this publication, resulting in a continuum of rich information appropriate for many audiences. The work addresses the current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field, their strengths and weaknesses, their future prospects, appropriate analytical methods and testing, device applications and performance, emerging candidate materials as competitors and disruptive technologies, and strategic insights for those entering and operational in diverse biomaterials applications, research and development, regulatory management, and commercial aspects. From the outset, the goal was to review materials in the context of medical devices and tissue properties, biocompatibility and surface analysis, tissue engineering and controlled release. It was also the intent both, to focus on material properties from the perspectives of therapeutic and diagnostic use, and to address questions relevant to state-of-the-art research endeavors.

Choice Review

This massive, multivolume compilation (3,672 pages!) of up-to-date information on biomaterials certainly lives up to its "comprehensive" title. It summarizes nearly every aspect of modern knowledge on biomaterials, ranging from material types and properties, biologically inspired materials, and analysis techniques (experimental and computational) to biocompatibility, drug and gene delivery, tissue engineering, and clinical applications--all in a well-organized, attractive presentation. Ducheyne (Univ. of Pennsylvania) and the coeditors are recognized leaders in their field, and they have assembled an impressive roster of hundreds of contributing authors, most of whom are noted international experts in their respective disciplines. Each of the 200 chapters is illustrated with beautiful, clear diagrams and micrographs, many in color. The chapters are well referenced, with roughly 100 to 400 articles cited in each, along with tables of information and relevant mathematical formulae. Most chapters have been written in a clearer pedagogical style with more detailed explanations than one would typically find in journal review articles. In some cases, contributors even provide step-by-step protocols, for instance on the topics of histology, immunohistochemistry, and peptide amphiphiles. The assembled work will be equally useful to both medical device designers and academic researchers working at the forefront of bioengineering. Chemists and materials scientists beware: the volumes do include some graphic surgical photos like those that are commonly found in medical texts.However, one might ask if a hardbound, multivolume reference work is perhaps an outdated product in this age of easily accessible online resources. The turnover and revision of knowledge can be particularly rapid in a field such as biomaterials. This reviewer rejects such a criticism. In a highly technical and vastly broad subject area, the key to managing (mastering) reputable information and facilitating new breakthroughs is through its preservation and organization by experts in the field. For students or researchers wanting a quick introduction or a working knowledge of an unfamiliar subfield of biomaterials, the assembled chapters will be much more valuable than the typical documents that rise to the top of keyword searches. The authors and editors should be commended for their efforts and congratulated on producing an impressive reference of lasting value. In this reviewer's opinion, it will be an essential reference for any library affiliated with graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. M. R. King Cornell University
