Throughout, the focus is on applications, with worked examples for training purposes as well as case studies included. The whole is rounded off with a look at future trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"[R]esearchers with a chemical background who are entering the biomedical field are the ones who will get the most out of this book. Others, coming from a more mechanical background will still find the book very useful owing to the number of concise comparisons of the materials within the various classes which will facilitate material selection and design of biomedical technologies. Indeed, it is an excellent picture of the current state and direction of research in this area, well supported by a wealth of references in each chapter (there are between 40 – 300 references per chapter) with pertinent and well-presented figures throughout.\" (\u003ci\u003eApplied Rheology\u003c\/i\u003e June 2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors XV\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface XIX\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Biomaterials for Biomedical Applications 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrahatheeswaran Dhandayuthapani and Dasappan Sakthi kumar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Polymers as Hydrogels in Cell Encapsulation and Soft Tissue Replacement 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Biomaterials for Drug Delivery Systems 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Biomaterials for Heart Valves and Arteries 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Biomaterials for Bone Repair 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 Conclusion 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Conducting Polymers: An Introduction 21\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNidhin Joy, Joby Eldho, and Raju Francis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Types of Conducting Polymers 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Synthesis of Conducting Polymers 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Surface Functionalization of Conducting Polymers 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Conducting Polymers: Biomedical Applications 37\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNidhin Joy, Geethy P.
