Description
This book is about electrofluidodynamic technologies, specifically how they can be used to create active platforms made of synthetic or natural polymers for use in tissue engineering, restoration and therapeutic treatments. The book starts with a discussion of the basics of electrofluidodynamics, such as the technology itself and the various parameters that affect it. It then goes on to discuss applications of electrofluidodynamics in biomedical fields, with chapters on its application in tissue engineering, molecular delivery and implantable devices. This book is a valuable resource for materials scientists, biomedical engineers and clinicians alike, and would be useful for anyone working with polymers and electrofluidodynamics.
Electrofluidodynamic Technologies (EFDTs) for Biomaterials and Medical Devices: Principles and Advances focuses on the fundamentals of EFDTs - namely electrospinning, electrospraying and electrodynamic atomization - to develop active platforms made of synthetic or natural polymers for use in tissue engineering, restoration and therapeutic treatments. The first part of this book deals with main technological aspects of EFDTs, such as basic technologies and the role of process parameters. The second part addresses applications of EFDTs in biomedical fields, with chapters on their application in tissue engineering, molecular delivery and implantable devices. This book is a valuable resource for materials scientists, biomedical engineers and clinicians alike.
