Abstract

Bioresorbable Polymers and their Composites: Characterization and Fundamental Processing for Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Development provides a holistic view of these unique materials and their usage in a range of biomedical applications. The book is evenly divided between fundamentals, processing methods and modeling approaches, and includes detailed coverage of a variety of applications, such as drug delivery, medical devices and wound healing. Key aspects including biocompatibility, biodegradability and toxicology are also thoroughly covered, enabling the reader to be fully informed when fabricating and utilizing their selected bioresorbable polymer.This book is an interdisciplinary and important reference for researchers in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science and regenerative medicine, as well as R&D groups in the development of medical devices.
