How Can Polymers Constructed From Living Organisms Help Eliminate
the Disposal Issue? A unique category of materials called
biodegradable polymers could help remedy a growing environmental
concern. Biodegradable Polymeric Nanocomposites: Advances in
Biomedical Applications considers the potential of biodegradable
polymers for use in biomedical applications that include drug
delivery, biosensors, and tissue engineering. Since biomaterials
perform on a time-limited function and are designed to disappear
from the body after use, the development of biopolymers could
greatly reduce and eliminate the need for plastic products, most
specifically those used in biomedical applications. Highlights
Biomaterials and the Design and Application of Biomaterials
Utilizing expert research contributors from around the world, this
book considers the benefits and limitations of a variety of
biomaterials, such as biopolymers, ceramics, biodegradable
nanocomposites, and natural products-based biomaterials. It
explores the bio-nano-interface; the interaction between
nanoparticles and biomaterials, explains the basic concepts and
methods of biodegradable nanocomposites (BNCs), and highlights
recent developments in polymer-based bionanocomposites. The book
provides an overview of degradation properties and the mechanical
properties of biodegradable polymers. It also breaks down the
mechanical properties and biocompatibility of starch-based
polymers, and outlines distinct advantages (biodegradability and
nontoxicity) that make them suitable as medical polymer materials.
In addition, it highlights the FDA-approved biodegradable polyester
family and focuses on the state-of-the-art recent advancements in
drug-delivery devices. Biodegradable Polymeric Nanocomposites:
Advances in Biomedical Applications provides current knowledge on
biopolymers, examines recent developments and trends, and considers
future applications of polymers. Featuring the work of
highly-qualified international researchers, this book addresses
applications relevant to polymer and material science, as well as
material, biomedical, and chemical engineering, and is of specific
interest to polymer science engineers.
