Sustainable Scaffolds-based Strategies in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (Biomaterials, Bioengineering and Sustainability, 8)

By Joaquim Miguel Oliveira, Joana Silva-Correia, Rui Luís Reis This book aims to provide a concise overview on the relevant research dealing with the design and fabrication methods of novel scaffolds, considering not only the technological challenges, but also the increasingly important sustainability issues. In this context, the vast options of sustainable biomaterials and eco-friendly/green methods for biomaterials synthesis and scaffold’s processing techniques are discussed. Importantly, the recent developments in the field of scaffolds-based strategies for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications are also provided. In brief, the book is divided into three main sections comprising 15 chapters, as follows: I - Sustainable scaffold techniques and designs in tissue engineering; II - Natural materials and eco-wastes used as sacrificial templates; and III - Biomedical applications. It will also provide a concluding section about the Editor’s opinion on the current achievements and future directions of the field. This book includes the contribution of leading and multidisciplinary experts, which will provide a in depth discussion on sustainable scaffolds for biomedical applications, thus serving as an up-to-date reference for a new generation of multidisciplinary students and researchers which aim to consider the sustainability dimension in their research activities.
