Polymeric waveguide-on-flex has the potential to replace complex and costly light-turning devices in optoelectronic applications. As light signals are propagated and confined through the definition of core-cladding interface, the light guiding structure is required to adhere wel…
Gums are water soluble polymers that serve as invaluable ingredients in a myriad of food applications. Gums have been extensively used in the beverage industry. Although, beverage systems are unique and do not follow the same rheological behavior as semi-solid systems. Thus, thr…

This volume looks at the different aspects involved in controlling microbial growth and the techniques employed in obtaining sterile surfaces. It covers research on coatings, nano-materials, herbal materials, naturally occurring antimicrobials in designing antimicrobial surfaces…
Biomaterials work in contact with living matter and this gives a number of specific requirements for their surface properties, such as bioinertness or bioactivity, anti-biofouling, and so on. Surface engineering based on physical, chemical, physical-chemical, biochemical or biol…
Surface modification of magnesium and its alloys for biomedical applications: Biological interactions, mechanical properties and testing, the first of two volumes, is an essential guide on the use of magnesium as a degradable implant material. Due to their excellent biocompatibi…
Despite advances in alternative materials, metals are still the biomaterial of choice for a number of clinical applications such as dental, orthopedic and cardiac implants. However, there are a number of intrinsic problems associated with implanting metal in the biological envir…
