Chemical Processing of Advanced Materials by Larry L. Hench & Jon K. WestPublisher: Wiley-Interscience, 1992ISBN is 9780471542018 / 0471542016Hardcover6.15 x 9.5 inches, 1048 pagesBased on material submitted by the world's leading scientists at the Fifth Ultrastructure Processing Conference held in February, 1991. Their current research results provide a comprehensive treatment of the recent state of science and applications in chemically derived glasses, polymers, ceramics, composites and advanced optical materials. Includes Sol-Gel and Silica Science; Thin Films and Coatings; Ultrastructural Polymers; Chemically Processed Fibers and Composites; and much more.------------------------Dr. Hench taught materials science engineering at UF for 32 years. During that time he invented Bioglass, the first man-made material to bond with living tissues. Bioglass is a unique range of soda-calcia-phosphate-silica glasses.------------------------LARRY HENCH (1938-2015) Professor Emeritus Larry L. Hench passed away on Dec. 16, 2015 at his home in Ft. Meyers, FL. He was 77. Dr. Hench taught materials science engineering at UF for 32 years. During that time he invented Bioglass, the first man-made material to bond with living tissues. Bioglass is a unique range of soda-calcia-phosphate-silica glasses. Hench's concept behind it ­ of bioactive bonding pioneered the field of biomedical materials and revolutionized a new approach to repair and regeneration in the body. Bioglass and its derivatives are still used extensively around the world in the repair of bones, joints and teeth."Larry was a pivotal and important figure in our department for many years, and with everything he did, was a true renaissance man," said James Baciak, professor and chair of UF's department of materials science and engineering, noting that in addition to his work with Bioglass, Hench's research was pivotal in solving problems related to nuclear waste storage. "He will be greatly missed."Hench and his contributions to materials research were recently featured on the Discovery UK series Future Now: Scientific Breakthroughs Shaping Our Lives. The episode, "Repairing the Human Body," describes how Hench who at the time was making nonreactive ceramic materials for space missions met a Vietnam War surgeon who was eager to find a bone graft material that the human body would not reject. It was 1969, and Bioglass soon made history.After retiring from UF, Hench joined Imperial College London, as chair of their Ceramic Materials Department. At Imperial he co-founded and co-directed the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Centre for 10 years. He also authored a series of children's books featuring Boing-Boing the Bionic Cat, and created educational materials such as workbooks, experiment books and hands-on kits to stimulate interest in science, engineering, technology and mathematics (STEM).----------------------The late Dr. Larry Hench was University Professor, Biomedical Engineering Program, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Florida, Professor and Director of Special Projects at the University of Central Florida, Visiting Professor at Kings College/Guy's Hospital University of London, Guest Faculty at the Department of Bioengineering at Florida Gulf Coast University, and Emeritus Professor at the University of Florida and Imperial College London.For 10 years Dr. Hench served as Co-Director of the Imperial College Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Centre. He assumed the Chair of Ceramic Materials at Imperial College in 1995 following 32 years at the University of Florida where he served as Graduate Research Professor, Director of the Bioglass Research Center and Co-Director of the Advanced Materials Research Center. He completed his Bachelor of Ceramic Engineering degree at The Ohio State University in 1961 and his Ph.D. in 1964.Dr. Hench received almost all the awards in ceramics, materials science and biomaterials that are possible, including membership in the National Academy of Engineering and the ACerS W.D. Kingery Award. He was also a Fellow and Distinguished Life Member of ACerS. Hench died in December 2015.-------------------------Dr Larry Hench was born on 21 November 1938 in Shelby, Ohio and graduated from The Ohio State University in 1961 and 1964 with BS and PhD degrees in Ceramic Engineering. He went to the University of Florida in 1964 as an Assistant Professor and in 1969 discovered Bioglass®, the first man-made material to bond with living tissues. In recognition of this discovery, which founded the field of bioactive medical and dental implants, and the development of methodology for investigating the interfacial bonding of this new class of biomaterials he was awarded the Clemson Award for Basic Research in 1977, the highest award of the Society for Biomaterials. This work combined with fundamental studies of glass systems led to a general theory of glass-environment interactions and the 1980 George W. Morey award, the highest honour of the Glass Division of the American Ceramic Society. The technology for manufacturing and quality assurance of bioactive glasses was achieved in Dr Hench's laboratory and transferred successfully to industry in 1984. Bioglass® prostheses for middle ear reconstruction, dental implants, and Bioglass® powders for repair for periodontal defects were approved for sale by the FDA in 1985, 1990, and 1993, respectively and are being marketed by US Biomaterials Corporation under license from the University of Florida. CE marks for sales of Bioglass® dental products in Europe were obtained in 1996 and in 1997 for orthopaedic products ----------------------Dr. Jon K. West, Ph.D., graduated from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Florida with his Ph.D. while working full time as an engineer with General Electric Company, Battery Business Department. Dr. West is a well-respected physicist who holds over 20 patents related to materials, materials processing, quantum chemistry and power storage devices. He has authored over 60 reviewed articles and 3 books related to materials engineering and scientific concepts.-------------------------J.K. West's studies on quantum molecular orbital (MO) modelling yielded significant insight into the understanding of structure-property relationships for bulk amorphous silica, as well as for porous type VI gel-silica. The same MO methods were applied by Hench and co-workers to a variety of topics: quantum clusters of Si-SiO 2 , silica densification, silica-water interactions, silica pore models, Cr 3? -doped silica, silica fracture, biological interactions of Bioglass Ò , and biomimetic synthesis., Wiley-Interscience, 1992, 3, National Academies Press, 2/1/1994 12:00:01 AM. hardcover.
