Absorbable and biodegradable polymers
Edited by S W Shalaby, Poly-Med Inc. and K J L Burg, Clemson University, USA
The interest in biodegradable and absorbable polymers is growing rapidly due to their biomedical implant and drug delivery applications. This text illustrates creative approaches to custom designing unique, fiber-forming materials for equally unique applications. It includes the development and application of new absorbable systems and materials as well as current work on tissue engineering technologies and their utilisation in practical applications.
