Description for Advanced Polymers in Medicine
Hardback. Advanced Polymers in Medicine Editor(s): Puoci, Francesco. Num Pages: 545 pages, 105 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MQW; PNNP; TDCP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 30. Weight in Grams: 979.
The book provides an up-to-date overview of the diverse medical applications of advanced polymers. The book opens by presenting important background information on polymer chemistry and physicochemical characterization of polymers. This serves as essential scientific support for the subsequent chapters, each of which is devoted to the applications of polymers in a particular medical specialty. The coverage is broad, encompassing orthopedics, ophthalmology, tissue engineering, surgery, dentistry, oncology, drug delivery, nephrology, wound dressing and healing, and cardiology. The development of polymers that enhance the biocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices and the incorporation of polymers within biosensors are also addressed. This book ... Read more
