Handbook of Biodegradable Polymers

Applications in Biomedical Sciences, Industry, and the Environment

About this book

This book presents a comprehensive and authoritative review of the recent developments and advances in biodegradable polymers and their biomedical applications. Following an interdisciplinary approach, it combines the medical and pharmaceutical fields in conjunction with biomedical engineering, polymer science, materials science, and pharmacological aspects of biodegradable polymers. The text covers the synthesis, properties, and characterization of biodegradable polymers and systems and their applications in sustained drug delivery, anticancer therapy, vaccine delivery, gene delivery, surgery, wound care, cardiology, dentistry, orthopedics, medical devices, tissue engineering, and cosmeceuticals. It also details the safety aspects, market economy, challenges, and opportunities related to biodegradable polymers, providing an understanding of the commercial and translational aspects of these crucial biomaterials. Edited and authored by renowned scientists working on biodegradable polymers, biocomposites, biodegradable systems, and implants, the book is an important resource for academicians, researchers, students, professionals, and general readers interested in exploring the potential biomedical applications of biodegradable polymers.
