Rezensionen

"...well illustrated with a glossary, end-chapter summaries, and references...materials, scientists, medical device designers and manufacturers, corrosion researchers and practitioners, surgeons, and clinicians will profit from reading this book." ( CORROSION , February 2006)
"...a concise, topical, and not overly technical hardbound...the strengths of this book are its crisp information and condensed summaries. The jewels of this book are the diagrams and tables." ( Annals of Biomedical Engineering , Issue 31:11)

"...delivers precisely what the authors intended...excellent book...great introduction...nicely complements existing texts..." ( Advanced Materials , Vol 16(4), 17 Feb 2004)

"This text would be of great use for faculty teaching courses on tissue-biomaterial interactions." ( IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology , May/ June 2003)

"...a pleasure to read...highly recommendable..." ( Biomateria.com )

"...excellent attention to detail...recommended for graduate students, faculty and researchers, and bioengineers and physicians." ( Choice , Vol. 40, No. 6, February 2003)
