Book Description:

Biomaterials based on polymers perform a time-limited function, but being foreign, they should disappear from the body once that function has been fulfilled. A wide range of polymers have been considered for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, biosensors, and tissue engineering. This book highlights recent developments in biodegradable polymer-based nanocomposites that are specifically aimed at biomedical applications and covers such items as degradation of polymers, in...
More DescriptionBiomaterials based on polymers perform a time-limited function, but being foreign, they should disappear from the body once that function has been fulfilled. A wide range of polymers have been considered for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, biosensors, and tissue engineering. This book highlights recent developments in biodegradable polymer-based nanocomposites that are specifically aimed at biomedical applications and covers such items as degradation of polymers, in vitro case studies, and the interaction with biological systems at a nanoscale level.
