Bioengineering: Concepts and Applications - Bog

Bioengineering is the integration of biology and engineering to develop usable products, especially for use in diverse industrial sectors. The field uses principles of fluid mechanics, surface science, mass transfer, thermodynamics and polymer science among many others. Bioengineering is also used to modify or control biological systems in order to sustain or predict chemical and mechanical processes. Some of its prominent applications can be found in the designing of medical and diagnostic devices, genetic modification, biocatalysis, biocompatible materials, etc. The ever growing need of advanced technology has fueled the research in the field of bioengineering in modern times. This book covers in detail some existing theories and innovative concepts revolving around this field. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
