期刊介绍：

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine is an established refereed monthly companion to the Journal of Materials Science . It publishes papers on the science and technology of biomaterials and their applications as medical or dental implants prostheses and devices and of biological materials. Materials in Medicine covers a wide range of topics from the basic underpinning science to clinical applications around a central theme of materials in medicine and dentistry. The core element of the Journal is the structure properties and applications of natural materials as well as the metals ceramics polymers and composites used in orthopaedic maxillo-facial cardiovascular neurological ophthalmic and dental applications. Special biomedical topics include cell-biomaterial interactions biocompatibility tissue biomechanics deformation fracture creep fatigue in vivo implantation degradation X-ray and electron microscope characterisation surface analysis metallurgical processing powder processing polymer and composite fabrication prosthesis biomechanics and clinical trials.
