Beskrivning
Natural Biopolymers in Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering systematically examines a broad range of natural polymers and their applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering. The book thoroughly collates the most relevant and up-to-date research on natural biopolymers, covering a variety of key natural polymer types such as chitin, chitosan, alginate, guar gum and collagen. It is divided into two sections, covering drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Each section focuses on natural biopolymers in the form of scaffolds, membranes, films, gels and nanoparticles, thus helping the reader select not only the most appropriate polymer type, but also the most relevant structure.

This comprehensive resource is ideal for materials scientists, biomedical engineers, tissue engineers, pharmaceutical scientists and anyone interested in developing novel materials for biomedical applications.

  • Covers both drug delivery and tissue engineering applications of natural biopolymers, helping bridge the gap between the two
  • Details a range of natural polymer types, ensuring all relevant options are presented
  • Discusses the benefits, challenges and clinical translation of natural biopolymers

Rangasamy Jayakumar is a Professor at the Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Deemed University), Kerala, India. He received his PhD degree in polymer chemistry from Anna University, Chennai, India (2002) and MSc degree from Bharathidasan University. Clinical Research Project Manager, MicroPort Orthopedics Inc.,Arlington, Tennessee, USA Dr. Vishnu Priya Murali has extensive research experience in the field of biomedical engineering, exploring a number of polymers, ceramics and metals for regenerative medicine. Her work has driven improvements in the fabrication and characterization of polymer-based hydrogels, nanogels and nanoparticles for bone tissue engineering, development, and characterization of polymeric scaffolds for drug delivery, and the fabrication of nanoparticle-loaded polymeric surface coatings for gene delivery. She is currently involved in translational research where she develops strategies and monitors research progress of ceramic and metallic orthopedic products that are ready to be commercialized. She has a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Memphis, USA (2019), where she received the 2019 Steven Slack Fellowship and Herff College of Engineering Felllowship (2015-2019). She did her PostDoctoral training at Florida State University, USA (2019-2021) and was selected for the AAAS/Science Program for Excellence in Science, 2019. She has published 10 peer-reviewed journal articles in prestigious journals like Acta Biomaterialia and Carbohydrate Polymers and 3 book chapters for Wiley, Springer and Woodhead Publishing. She has around 650 citations and a i10 Index and h-index of 9, each. She has been invited as a guest speaker in multiple international forums and is a reviewer for several international journals of Elsevier, MDPI and Springer.
