Adhesion in Pharmaceutical Biomedical and Dental Fields by K.L Mittal
Brand: John Wiley & Sons Inc
Product Description
The only book to cover adhesion in pharmaceutical biomedical and dental fields The phenomenon of adhesion is of cardinal importance in the pharmaceutical biomedical and dental fields. A few eclectic examples will suffice to underscore the importancerelevance of adhesion in these three areas. For example the adhesion between powdered solids is of crucial importance in tablet manufacture. The interaction between biodevices e.g. stents bioimplants and body environment dictates the performance of such devices and there is burgeoning research activity in modifying the surfaces of such implements to render them compatible with bodily components. In the field of dentistry the modern trend is to shift from retaining of restorative materials by mechanical interlocking to adhesive bonding. The book contains 15 chapters written by internationallyrenowned subject matter experts and is divided into four parts Part 1 General Topics Part 2 Adhesion in Pharmaceutical Field Part 3 Adhesion in Biomedical Field and Part 4 Adhesion in Dental Field. The topics covered include Theories or mechanisms of adhesion wettability of powders role of surface free energy in tablet strength and powder flow behavior mucoadhesive polymers for drug delivery systems transdermal patches skin adhesion in longwear cosmetics factors affecting microbial adhesion biofouling and ways to mitigate it adhesion of coatings on surgical tools and bioimplants adhesion in fabrication of microarrays in clinical diagnostics antibacterial polymers for dental adhesives and composites evolution of dental adhesives and testing of dental adhesive joints. Audience This book will be of great interest and considerable importance in materials science physics and chemistry and RampD personnel in pharmaceutical biomedical and dental arenas as well as practicing doctors and advanced graduate students carrying out research in these three disciplines.
