Beskrivning

Materials for Biomedical Engineering: Thermoset and Thermoplastic Polymers presents the newest and most interesting approaches to intelligent polymer engineering in both current and future progress in biomedical sciences. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties needed for each selected polymer and how to increase their biomedical potential in varying applications, such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. These materials are intended for use in diagnoses, therapy and prophylaxis, but are also relatable to other biomedical related applications, such as sensors. Recent developments and future perspectives regarding their use in biomedicine are discussed in detail, making this book an ideal source on the topic.

Highlights the most well-known applications of thermoset and thermoplastic polymers in biological and biomedical engineering
Presents novel opportunities and ideas for developing or improving technologies in materials for companies, those in biomedical industries, and others
Features at least 50% of references from the last 2-3 years
