Description
This book focuses on biodegradable polymers that are already inclinical use or under clinical development. Synthetic and naturalpolymers will be included. This excludes polymers that have beeninvestigated and did not reach clinical development.
The purpose of this book is to provide updated status of thepolymers that are clinical use and those that are now beingdeveloped for clinical use and hopefully will reach the clinicduring the next 5 years. The book provides information that ofinterest to academics and practicing researchers includingchemists, biologists and bioengineers and users: physicians,pharmacists.
