It is often described as the ‘next electronics industry’, whilst the laser is described as a ‘solution looking for a problem’. This book describes the use of the laser to solve a troublesome and costly problem in a rapidly growing global industry. The authors have spent many years conducting research using laser materials processing and wettability characteristics and have perfected a technique to improve the bio-compatibility of various bone-implant materials using laser irradiation. They have made pioneering discoveries on the subject and established some generic theories and principals that will have a wide range of applications in the biomaterials field.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces inter-disciplinary research work covering laser materials processing and surface modification of biomaterials for enhanced compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes highly scientific and novel research material.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eServes both as a practitioner guide and a reference book.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers an exciting and rapidly developing area of technology that is of keen interest to engineers and clinicians alike.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLaser Surface Treatment of Bio-Implant Materials\u003c\/i\u003e is rare in providing a reference source that describes specifically a mechanical engineering solution to a biotechnology problem. It serves as both a practitioner guide and a medium to high-level reference text book, and as such is a reference source for the engineer practising or looking to move into the biomaterials field, undergraduate and post graduate students and those conducting bio-related research in either academia or industry. It will prove useful to mechanical engineers, biotechnologists, biomechanical engineers, metallurgists, clinicians and even surgeons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements.  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1. Bioactivity and Biointegration of Orthopaedic and Dental Implants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1.
