Description
Book SynopsisDescribes biodegradable polymers used in medicine and explores their design, development, and processing. This book discusses the performance of biodegradable systems and requirements for evaluating their biocompatibility, including several methodologies for tailoring cell adhesion and proliferation on the surface of biodegradable polymers.
Trade Review"Written from well-known experts, the book gives a comprehensive overview of all the open and solved problems related to the role played from polymer-based systems in tissue engineering replacement, and regeneration. …it has to be in the library of all the chemical and medical community that has interest or should like to know in a deeper way all the problems linked to this relevant and fascinating topic."
