Protein-Based Biopolymers

From Source to Biomedical Applications

About this book

Protein-Based Biopolymers: From Source to Biomedical Applications provides an overview on the development and application of protein biopolymers in biomedicine. Protein polymers have garnered increasing focus in the development of biomedical materials, devices and therapeutics due to their intrinsic bioactivity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. This book comprehensively reviews the latest advances on the synthesis, characterization, properties and applications of protein-based biopolymers. Each chapter is dedicated to a single protein class, covering a broad range of proteins including silk, collagen, keratin, fibrin, and more. In addition, the book explores the biomedical potential of these polymers, from tissue engineering, to drug delivery and wound healing. This book offers a valuable resource for academics and researchers in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering and R&D groups working in pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. - Covers a range of protein-based biopolymers, including elastin, collagen, keratin, soy and more - Guides the reader through the fabrication, characterization and properties of protein biopolymers - Explores the biomedical potential of protein biopolymers, covering applications such as cancer therapy, tissue engineering and drug delivery
