Biomaterials have had a major impact on the practice of
contemporary medicine and patient care. Growing into a major
interdisciplinary effort involving chemists, biologists, engineers,
and physicians, biomaterials development has enabled the creation
of high-quality devices, implants, and drug carriers with greater
biocompatibility and biofunctionality. The fast-paced research and
increasing interest in finding new and improved biocompatible or
biodegradable polymers has provided a wealth of new information,
transforming this edition of Polymeric Biomaterials into a
two-volume set. Completely revised and expanded, this
state-of-the-art reference presents recent developments in
polymeric biomaterials: from their chemical, physical, and
structural properties to current applications in the medical and
pharmaceutical fields. The book is organized into two volumes
containing 53 authoritative chapters written by experts from around
the world. The first volume, Polymeric Biomaterials: Structure and
Function, contains information about the structure and properties
of synthetic polymers including polyesters, polyphosphazenes, and
elastomers and natural polymers such as mucoadhesives, chitin,
lignin, and carbohydrate derivatives. It also describes their
blends or composites-for example, metal-polymer composites and
biodegradable polymeric/ceramic composites-as well as drug carriers
and delivery systems, gene and nucleic acids delivery, and polymer
synthesis and processing techniques. The second volume, Polymeric
Biomaterials: Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Applications, addresses
processing of polymeric biomaterials into specific forms that
ensure biocompatibility and biodegradability for various uses in
the medical and pharmaceutical arenas. The chapters address
numerous medical issues including pulmonary disease, cancer, heart
disease, tissue damage, and bone disease. The applications covered
include a variety of drug delivery systems, medical devices,
anticancer therapies, biological uses for hydrogels,
nanotechnology, bioartificial organs, and tissue engineering. This
third edition set presents new and substantially revised topics,
providing a comprehensive reference of the latest developments and
the most up-to-date applications of biomaterials in medicine.
