Plastics in Medical Devices, 2nd Edition
Key Features
• Comprehensive coverage of uses of polymers for medical devices.
• Unique coverage of medical device regulatory aspects, supplier control, and process validation.
• An invaluable guide for engineers, scientists, and managers involved in the development and marketing of medical devices and materials for use in medical devices.
Description
Plastics in Medical Devices is a comprehensive overview of the main types of plastics used in medical device applications. It focuses on the applications and properties that are most important in medical device design, such as chemical resistance, sterilization capability, and biocompatibility. The roles of additives, stabilizers, and fillers, as well as the synthesis and production of polymers, are covered and backed up with a wealth of data tables.
Since the first edition, the rate of advancement of materials technology has been constantly increasing. In the new edition, Dr. Sastri not only provides a thorough update of the first edition chapters with new information regarding new plastic materials, applications, and new requirements, but also adds two chapters - one on the market and regulatory aspects and supplier controls, and one on process validation. Both chapters meet an urgent need in the industry and make the book an all-encompassing reference not found anywhere else.
Readership
Engineers, scientists, and managers involved in the design and manufacture of medical devices.
Engineers and scientists involved in the tech support for and development and marketing of materials for use in medical device manufacture.
Other professionals involved in the medical device industry, the clinical use of medical devices, and related regulatory and compliance issues.
The medical device supply chain, where Process Validation and Supplier Controls are a requirement.

He holds a BS in Chemistry from Fordham University and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Princeton University, where he was a DuPont Senior Fellow. His areas of expertise include materials and processes for electronic applications, primarily for high-reliability systems, hybrid microcircuits, printed wiring circuits, and other interconnect packaging technologies. He is an expert on polymeric materials including adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, insulation, reliability based on failure modes and mechanisms. Dr. Licari has had a forty-year career dedicated to the study and advancement of microelectronic materials and processes. Notable achievements throughout this career include conducting the first studies on the reliability and use of die-attach adhesives for microcircuits, which he did in the mid-1970s through the early 1980s, making industry and the government aware of the degrading effects of trace amounts of ionic contaminants in epoxy resins. He conducted early exploratory development on the use of non-noble metal (Cu) thick-film conductor pastes for thick-film ceramic circuits. He carried out the first studies on the use of Parylene as a dielectric and passivation coating for MOS devices and as a particle immobilizer for hybrid microcircuits. He developed the first photo-definable thick-film conductor and resistor pastes that were the forerunners of DuPont’s Fodel process, for which he received a patent was granted in England. And he developed the first photocurable epoxy coating using cationic photoinitiation by employing a diazonium salt as the catalytic agent (U.S. 3205157).

He holds a BS in Chemistry from Fordham University and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Princeton University, where he was a DuPont Senior Fellow. His areas of expertise include materials and processes for electronic applications, primarily for high-reliability systems, hybrid microcircuits, printed wiring circuits, and other interconnect packaging technologies. He is an expert on polymeric materials including adhesives, coatings, encapsulants, insulation, reliability based on failure modes and mechanisms. Dr. Licari has had a forty-year career dedicated to the study and advancement of microelectronic materials and processes. Notable achievements throughout this career include conducting the first studies on the reliability and use of die-attach adhesives for microcircuits, which he did in the mid-1970s through the early 1980s, making industry and the government aware of the degrading effects of trace amounts of ionic contaminants in epoxy resins. He conducted early exploratory development on the use of non-noble metal (Cu) thick-film conductor pastes for thick-film ceramic circuits. He carried out the first studies on the use of Parylene as a dielectric and passivation coating for MOS devices and as a particle immobilizer for hybrid microcircuits. He developed the first photo-definable thick-film conductor and resistor pastes that were the forerunners of DuPont’s Fodel process, for which he received a patent was granted in England. And he developed the first photocurable epoxy coating using cationic photoinitiation by employing a diazonium salt as the catalytic agent (U.S. 3205157). The work was referenced as pioneering work in a review article by J.V. Crivello “The Discovery and Development of Onium Salt Cationic Photoinitiators,” J.
