Advanced Ceramic Coatings for Biomedical Applications focuses on various aspects such as tissue engineering, scaffolds, implants, dental applications, wound healing, and adhesives. This book is part of a comprehensive resource on Advanced Ceramic Coatings, which consists of four volumes. The other volumes cover topics like fundamentals, manufacturing, classification, energy applications, and emerging applications. This publication will be highly beneficial for academic and industrial researchers, as well as practicing engineers, who require reliable and up-to-date information on recent advancements and developments in the field of advanced ceramic coatings. Additionally, it will serve as a valuable resource for early career scientists seeking to gain background knowledge in this field.

Smart ceramic coatings, incorporating multifunctional components, are now being utilized in various industries such as transportation, automotive, electronics, energy, aerospace, defense, industrial goods, and healthcare.

The stability of these coatings in harsh environments is made possible by the stability of the inorganic components used. Common compositions of ceramic coatings include silicon nitride, chromia, hafnia, alumina, alumina-magnesia, silica, silicon carbide, titania, and zirconia-based materials. The growing demand for these materials, particularly in the energy, transportation, and automotive sectors, is considered to be the main driving force behind their increased application.
