Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Implants
Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Implants
Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Implants: Characterization, Properties, and Applications is a comprehensive reference on the polymers used in the development of biomedical implants. It examines the properties that make these materials suitable for implant applications, including flexibility, ease of fabrication, non-magnetic and radio-transparent behavior for medical imaging, and ease of engineering for biocompatibility.
The book reviews characterization methods and a broad range of applications, covering cancer therapy, orthopedics, cardiovascular devices, biosensing, and wound healing. Dedicated chapters address biomaterial-tissue interactions, the mechanical and surface property requirements of different implants, and market and ethical issues.
Published in 2023 as part of the Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials, this first edition is aimed at academics and researchers in materials science, biomedical engineering, regenerative medicine, and pharmacology, as well as R&D groups developing biomedical implants.
