Beskrivning

Design, Characterization and Fabrication of Polymer Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering covers core elements of scaffold design, from properties and characterization of polymeric scaffolds to fabrication techniques and the structure-property relationship. Particular attention is given to the cell-scaffold interaction at the molecular level, helping the reader understand and adapt scaffold design to improve biocompatibility and function. The book goes on to discuss a range of tissue engineering applications for polymeric scaffolds, including bone, nerve, cardiac and fibroblast tissue engineering. This is an important, interdisciplinary work of relevance to materials scientists, polymer scientists, biomedical engineers, and those working regenerative medicine.

Helps the reader determine the most appropriate polymer for scaffold design by characterization, properties and structure-property relationship
Discusses material-cell interactions at the molecular level, aiding in determining suitability
Covers core elements of scaffold design, including fabrication techniques
