Shape Memory Alloys for Biomedical Applications

Description:

Shape memory metals are suitable for a wide range of biomedical devices including applications in dentistry, bone repair, urology and cardiology. This book provides a thorough review of shape memory metals and devices for medical applications. The first part of the book discusses the materials, primarily Ti-Ni based alloys; chapters cover the mechanical properties, thermodynamics, composition, fabrication of parts, chemical reactivity, surface modification and biocompatibility. Medical and dental devices using shape memory metals are reviewed in the following section, chapters cover stents, orthodontic devices and endodontic instruments. Finally, future developments in this area are discussed including alternatives to Ti-Ni based shape memory alloys.

Contents:

Part 1 Materials: The shape memory effect and superelasticity in Ti-Ni alloys
- Mechanical properties of shape memory alloys
- Thermodynamics of the shape memory effect in Ti-Ni alloys
- Alternative shape memory alloys
- Fabrication of shape memory alloy parts
- Response of Ti-Ni alloys for dental biomaterials to conditions in the mouth
- Understanding, predicting and preventing failure of Ti-Ni shape memory alloys used in medical implants
- Surface modification of Ti-Ni alloys for biomedical applications
- Biocompatibility of Nitinol for biomedical applications.
Part 2 Medical and dental devices: Self-expanding Nitinol stents for the treatment of vascular disease
- Orthodontic devices using Ti-Ni shape memory alloys
- Endodontic instruments for root canal treatment using Ti-Ni shape memory alloys
- Regulation orthopaedic, dental, endovascular and other applications of Ti-Ni shape memory alloys.

Author

Professor Takayuki Yoneyama teaches at Nihon University School of Dentistry, Japan. He has studied the clinical applications of Ti-Ni and Ti alloys in dentistry extensively since 1985. Professor Shuichi Miyazaki teaches at the Institute of Materials Science, University of Tsukuba, Japan. He has studied Ti-Ni and Ti alloys since 1980, resulting in the publication of more than 400 papers and books.
