In recent years, inorganic polymers have attracted much attention
in nano-biomedicine, in particular in the area of regenerative
medicine and drug delivery. This growing interest in inorganic
polymers has been further accelerated by the development of new
synthetic and analytical methods in the field of nanotechnology and
nanochemistry. Examples for biomedical inorganic polymers that had
been proven to exhibit biomedical effects and/or have been applied
in preclinical or clinical trials are polysilicate / silica glass
(such as naturally formed "biosilica" and synthetic "bioglass") and
inorganic polyphosphate. Some members of the mentioned biomedical
inorganic polymers have already been applied e.g. as "bioglass" for
bone repair and bone tissue engineering, or they are used in food
processing and in dental care (inorganic polyphosphates). However,
there are a number of further biological and medicinal properties
of these polymers, which have been elucidated in the last few years
but not yet been applied for treatment of humans. In addition to
polysilicates and polyphosphate, there are a series of other
inorganic polymers including polyarsenate and polyvanadate, whose
biological / biomedical properties have been only marginally
studied so far. Moreover, the combined application of inorganic
polymers and organic polymeric molecules (formation of
organic-inorganic hybrid materials) provides a variety of new
materials with novel property combinations and diverse applications
in nanomedicine. The planned book summarizes the present state of
knowledge on a large group of inorganic polymers that had hitherto
been mainly considered with regard to their chemistry but not
comprehensively reviewed with respect to their potential biomedical
applications.
