Capturing the Full Power of Biomaterials for Military Medicine : Report of a Workshop Paperback / softback
by National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, National Materials Advisory Board, Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design, Committee on Capturing the Full Power of Biomaterials for Military Medical Needs
Paperback / softback
Description
Recent results in biomaterials R&D suggest that there are exceptional opportunities for these emerging materials in military medicine.
To facilitate this possibility, the National Research Council convened a workshop at the request of the Department of Defense to help create a technology development roadmap to enhance military R&D into biomaterials technology.
The workshop focused primarily on identifying useful near- and mid-term applications of biomaterials including wound care, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and physiological sensors and diagnostics.
This report presents a summary of the workshop. It provides a review of biomaterials and their importance to military medicine, the roadmap, and a discussion of ways to enable biomaterials development.
Several important outcomes of successful capture of potential benefits of these materials are also discussed.
