Description
This is a state-of-the-art, inclusive volume exploring several families of biodegradable polymers having biomedical applications. Contributing authors are active in their disciplines and therefore provide up-to-the-minute, factual data derived from hands-on experience and cutting-edge technology. Authors were selected on the basis of their contributions in the field of biomedical materials research, with special emphasis on the skeletal system. The factual details contained in this text will be an invaluable resource to bioengineering and polymer chemistry students, to clinicians and researchers involved in tissue regeneration, and to the biotechnology industry exploring methods for drug delivery and tissue engineering.
