Biocomposites are widely used in the medical industry to repair bone, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.
This new book provides a thorough review of the current situation, recent progress and future trends in composites for biomedical applications. It concentrates on the research and applications of this increasingly popular family of materials. Initial chapters provide an introduction to the material, focusing on the properties, fabrication and design of composites. The second group of chapters discuss particular applications and biocompatibility of biocomposites.
The final group of chapters analyses the mechanical behaviour and failure of biocomposites and their future potential.
