Biosynthetic Polymers for Medical Applications

This book provides an exploration of the fundamentals of biosynthetic polymers and the techniques used in their medical applications due to their favorable properties, including degradability and biocompatibility, along with their usage in tissue engineering and the further uses of polymers for other medical applications

Biosynthetic Polymers for Medical Applications provides the latest information on biopolymers, the polymers that have been produced from living organisms and are biodegradable in nature. These advanced materials are becoming increasingly important for medical applications due to their favorable properties, such as degradability and biocompatibility. This important book provides readers with a thorough review of the fundamentals of biosynthetic polymers and their applications. Part One covers the fundamentals of biosynthetic polymers for medical applications, while Part Two explores biosynthetic polymer coatings and surface modification. Subsequent sections discuss biosynthetic polymers for tissue engineering applications and how to conduct polymers for medical applications.
