内容简介：
【内容简介】 Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine is an established refereed monthly companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on the science and technology of biomaterials and their applications as medical or dental implants, prostheses and devices, and of biological materials. Materials in Medicine covers a wide range of topics from the basic underpinning science to clinical applications, around a central theme of materials in medicine and dentistry. The core element of the Journal is the structure, properties and applications of natural materials as well as the metals, ceramics, polymers and composites used in orthopaedic, maxillo-facial, cardiovascular, neurological, ophthalmic and dental applications. Special biomedical topics include cell-biomaterial interactions, biocompatibility, tissue biomechanics, deformation, fracture, creep, fatigue, in vivo implantation, degradation, X-ray and electron microscope characterisat ion, surface analysis, metallurgical processing, powder processing, polymer and composite fabrication, prosthesis biomechanics and clinical trials.
