Surface engineering provides one of the most important means of engineering product differentiation in terms of quality, performance, and lifecycle cost. It is essential to achieve predetermined functional properties of materials such as mechanical strength, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and heat and oxidation resistance. Surface Engineering of Biomaterials addresses this topic across a diverse range of process technologies and healthcare applications. Introduces biomaterial surface science and surface engineering and includes criteria for biomaterial surface selection Focuses on a broad array of materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, alloys, and composites Discusses corrosion, degradation, and material release issues in implant materials Covers various processing routes to develop biomaterial surfaces, including for smart and energy applications Details techniques for post-modification of biomaterial surfaces This reference work helps researchers working at the intersection of materials science and biotechnology to engineer functional biomaterials for a variety of applications.
This volume collects selected papers presented and discussed during the 9th National Conference organized by the Italian Association of Materials Engineering, AIMAT from 2008 at Piano di Sorrento (Napoli, Italy). It gives a valuable representation of highlights of the research and development activities running in 21 Italian universities and resear

This book gathers the peer-reviewed papers presented at the XXIV Conference of the Italian Association of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, held in Rome, Italy, on September 15-19, 2019 (AIMETA 2019). The conference topics encompass all aspects of general, fluid, solid and structural mechanics, as well as mechanics for machines and mechanical systems, including theoretical, computational and experimental techniques and technological applications. As such the book represents an invaluable, up-to-the-minute tool, providing an essential overview of the most recent advances in the field.
Ci sono momenti della vita che restano nel cuore per sempre L’estate è la stagione della libertà, dei sorrisi e del profumo di salsedine. Ma per Giulia e Lorenzo quest’anno tutto è diverso. Sono costretti a trascorrere due lunghi mesi in Basilicata, la terra d’origine della madre. Una terra lontanissima da loro, cresciuti al Nord. Una terra di cui non hanno ricordi, perché da quando erano piccolissimi non ci sono più tornati. Una terra dove c’è una famiglia di cui non sanno nulla. I due ragazzi preferirebbero essere da qualsiasi altra parte invece che con quei nonni così all’antica, quelle zie troppo amorevoli, quei cugini che pur essendo coetanei sembrano distanti anni luce...
