Biodegradable Metals and Their Medical Applications presents an authoritative overview of all aspects of biodegradable metals and their biomedical applications from the definition, criteria, classification and alloying design of biodegradable metals to the mechanical property optimization, degradation control, biological effect, surface treatment, and advanced manufacture technologies of various biodegradable alloying systems. In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility evaluations for each kind of degradable metallic biomaterials are also discussed, and medical devices designed for usage within bone, blood, and other body microenvironments are presented, making this a complete resource for researchers in the fields of materials science and biomedical engineering.
