Biomedical foams are a new type of material that is increasingly being used in tissue engineering applications. Biomedical Foams for Tissue Engineering Applications is a comprehensive review of this new class of materials, whose structure can be engineered to meet the requirements of nutrient trafficking, cell and tissue invasion, as well as tuning the degradation rate and mechanical stability on the specific tissue to be repaired. Part one delves into the fundamentals, properties, and modification of biomedical foams, such as the optimal design and manufacture of biomedical foam pore structure for tissue engineering applications, biodegradable biomedical foam scaffolds, tailoring the pore structure of foam scaffolds for nerve regeneration, and tailoring the properties of polymeric biomedical foam. Part two's chapters focus on tissue engineering applications of biomedical foams, including the use of bioactive glass foams for tissue engineering, bioactive glass and glass-ceramic foam scaffolds for bone tissue restoration, composite biomedical foams for engineering bone tissue, injectable biomedical foams for bone regeneration, polylactic acid (PLA) biomedical foams for tissue engineering, porous hydrogel biomedical foam scaffolds for tissue repair, and Biomedical Foams for Tissue Engineering Applications provides technical information for biomaterials researchers and developers, as well as academics and students of biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine.
