What is Bio-Glasses: An Introduction about?

Wiley, 2012. — 259 p. This new work is dedicated to glasses and their variants which can be used as biomaterials to repair diseased and damaged tissues. Bio-glasses are superior to other biomaterials in many applications, such as healing bone by signaling stem cells to become bone cells. Key features: - First book on biomaterials to focus on bio-glasses - Edited by a leading authority on bio-glasses trained by one of its inventors, Dr Larry Hench - Supported by the International Commission on Glass (ICG) - Authored by members of the ICG Biomedical Glass Committee, with the goal of creating a seamless textbook - Written in an accessible style to facilitate rapid absorption of information - Covers all types of glasses, their properties and applications, and demonstrates how glass is an attractive improvement to current procedures - Of interest to the biomedical as well as the materials science community. The book covers all types of glasses: traditional glasses, bioactive glasses, sol-gel glasses, phosphate glasses, glass-ceramics, composites and hybrids. Alongside discussion on how bio-glasses are made, their properties, and the reasons for their use, the authors also cover their ap
