These 2 volume books strive to provide to our readers the most
up-to-date core information available in the published literature
as well as our yet to be published studies with ample illustrations
(total 416) on biodegradable polymers. Much of the information used
in this book is from the authors' own research activities over the
past several decades. These 2 volume books contain a compilation of
new developments in the creation and use of biodegradable polymers
including the relatively new polymers designed from the ground up
(i.e., designing new monomers), the modification of existing
biodegradable polymers to achieve particular new goals and
functions, new fabrication methods for better efficiency, purity
and yields, new engineering methods to formulate existing
biodegradable polymers into new physical forms, and new
applications of existing or new biodegradable polymers in
biomedical and environmental arenas. These 2 volume books contain a
total of 28 chapters grouped under 2 volumes. Volume 1 has a total
of 14 chapters and 2 sections: Section I Basic degradation study
and phenomenon (6 chapters), and Section II Biomedical and
environmental applications (8 chapters). Volume 2 has also 14
chapters, and focuses on newly designed biodegradable polymers, and
their formulation into different physical forms. The chapters in
both volumes have both new original articles and information and
review articles with updated and new information. Although the bulk
of the chapters in this book (> 90%) deal with issues in
biomedical fields which are far more challenging, demanding, and
costly to resolve, two chapters deal with use of biodegradable
materials for environmental impacts. The books are designed for
material and polymer scientists and engineers and biomedical
engineers in both universities and in industries with an interest
in the biomedical field. Biomaterial scientists and engineers,
biomedical engineers and even medical professionals who have used
implantable polymeric-based medical devices for their practice will
find these books coverage of the latest developments and challenges
useful either as a comprehensive review or an up to date report of
the developments in the field of biodegradable polymers. The
contributors include both academic scientists and research
scientists in industry, from 10 different countries in North (USA)
and South America (Brazil, Argentina), Asia (China, Korea,
Singapore) and Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal). Therefore,
these 2 volume books are truly internationally as well as
multidisciplinary-oriented, covering science and engineering
without borders.
