This book focuses on biomaterials of different forms used for medical implants. The authors introduce the characteristics and properties of biomaterials and then dedicate special chapters to metallic, ceramic, polymeric and composite biomaterials. Case studies on sterilization methods by biomaterials are also presented. Finally, the authors describe the degradation and effects of biomaterials in living tissue.

Venina dos Santos is a Professor at University of Caxias do Sul, Brazil. She has experience in the area of biomaterials. Rosmary Nichele Brandalise is a Professor at University of Caxias do Sul, Brazil. She has experience in the area of Chemical and Materials Engineering, specially on degradation, biodegradation of polymers, polymer blends, composites and studies with biomaterials. Michele Savaris has a Master's degree in Process and Technology Engineering. Her research activities are focused on polymers, with emphasys on biomaterials (sterilization processes, characterization, applications, development of scaffolds and in vitro test), polyurethane synthesis, degradation and biodegradation.
