Applications of Nanocomposite Materials in Orthopedics provides a solid understanding of recent developments in the field of nano-composites used in orthopedics. The book covers joint replacement, the load bearing capability of fractured bones, bone soft tissue regeneration, hard tissue replacement, artificial bone grafting, bone repair, bone tissue transplantations, and related topics, thus helping readers understand how to resolve problems associated with bone fracture and orthopedic surgery. A variety of nanocomposite materials are discussed, with their properties and preparation methods given.

1. Biodegradable polymer matrix nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering
2. Bone tissue transplantation - a nano approach
3. Electrospun hydrogels composites for bone tissue engineering
4. Fabrication and applications of hydroxyapatite-based nanocomposites coating for bone tissue engineering
5. Magnesium alloys and composites for orthopedic application
6. Multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites for artificial bone grafting
7. Nanocomposite materials for prosthetic devices
8. Nanocomposites for improved orthopaedic and bone tissue engineering applications
9. Nanocomposites for lubricating coating and thin film applications in orthopaedics
10. Tailoring surface properties from nanotubes and anodic layers of titanium for biomedical applications
11. Zirconia - alumina composites for orthopaedic application
12. nanocomposites in total hip joint replacements
13. Nano composites for wound healing, cardiac and liver regeneration
14. Extra cellular matrix (ECM)- a nature based nano-composite
15. Biomimetic principle for development of nanocomposites in tissue engineering

The book targets scientists, engineers, industrial experts, Ph.D. students and master students in the field of biochemical engineering, materials chemistry, medical industry like dentistry & orthopaedic and pharmaceutical chemistry

Prof. Abdullah M. Asiri is the Head of the Chemistry Department at King Abdulaziz University since October 2009 and he is the founder and the Director of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research (CEAMR) since 2010 till date. He is the Professor of Organic Photochemistry. His research interest covers color chemistry, synthesis of novel photochromic and thermochromic systems, synthesis of novel coloring matters and dyeing of textiles, materials chemistry, nanochemistry and nanotechnology, polymers and plastics. A major achievement of Prof. Asiri is the discovery of tribochromic compounds, a class of compounds which change from slightly or colorless to deep colored when subjected to small pressure or when grind. This discovery was introduced to the scientific community as a new terminology published by IUPAC in 2000. This discovery was awarded a patent from European Patent office and from UK patent. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of various journals of international repute. He is the Vice- President of Saudi C
