Medical Additive Manufacturing Concepts and Fundamentals Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies Series

Medical Additive Manufacturing: Concepts and Fundamentals provides an overview of the latest research in the field of additively manufactured medical materials. It starts with a broad overview of the current state of medical additive manufacturing and then dives into cutting-edge topics such as medical imaging technologies for additive manufacturing and computer-aided design principles for anatomic modeling. The chapters discuss the state of additive manufacturing in an array of medical fields such as radiology, tissue engineering, nuclear medicine, orthopedics, surgery, cardiology, neurology, optometry, obstetrics, and veterinary medicine. This book concludes with chapters discussing regulatory considerations for additive manufacturing in hospitals and what the future holds for the field.

Professor Shadpour Mallakpour, organic polymer chemist, graduated from chemistry department, University of Florida (UF), Gainesville, Florida, U.S.A. in 1984. He spent two years as post-doc at UF. He joint to the department of chemistry, Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Iran, since 1986. He held several positions such as chairman of department of chemistry and deputy of research, department of chemistry at IUT. From 1994-1995 he worked as visiting professor, University of Mainz, Germany and from 2003-2004 as visiting professor, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, USA. Now he has published more than 900 journal papers and book chapters and more than 440 conference papers and got more than 40 items of awards. The most important award to him was given for the selection of first laureate on fundamental research, at 21st Khwarizmi International award in 2008. He is listed as the Top 1% Scientists in Chemistry in ISI Essential Science Indicators Since 2003. He was selected as academic guest of the 59th Meeting of Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry, 2009, at Lindau, Germany. He presented many lectures as invited or keynote speaker in different national and international conferences or universities. He was member of organizing and scientific committees for many national and international conferences. He was also the chairperson of many national and international meetings. In recent year he focused on the preparation and characterization of polymers containing chiral amino acid moieties under green conditions using ionic liquids and microwave irradiation as new technology and bringing these aspects towards nanotechnology for the preparation of novel chiral bionanocomposite polymers as well as polymer nanocomposities for hazardous materials removal technologies.
