Description
Biomedical Applications of Polymeric Materials provides an outstanding presentation of the state of the art in the biomedical applications of polymeric materials. The book discusses the fundamentals of interactions between materials and biosystems, biocompatible or biodegradable polymers, and polymers for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. These applications include blood purification, artificial organs, dental and oculistics, biosensors, and drug delivery systems. The book emphasizes the materials perspective, with particular emphasis on molecular-level or cellular-level considerations.
Biomedical Applications of Polymeric Materials will be essential to biomedical engineers, polymer chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and pharmaceutical scientists.
