Overview

Treating diseases involving the kidney, liver and immune systems often requires a good grasp of blood purifying technologies, specifically membranes and adsorbents. This is the first book to elucidate the role of biomaterials in blood purification technologies. Starting with a fundamental introduction on bio/haemocompatibility of materials, the reader will move on to learn about the membranes used for blood purification in key environments, namely the liquid–liquid environment (e.g. the artificial kidney) and will look at haemodialysis and materials therein, to liquid–gas environments (e.g. the artificial lung), before moving on to chapters delving into hybrid artificial organs and smart membranes. The next part of the book looks at adsorbents, including immunoadsorbents and bionic adsorbents. The book ends with the prospect of blood purification materials. Edited by a leader in the field, this book is a novel and comprehensive analysis of blood purification materials. It is essential reading for those working in biomaterials science and engineering.
