Produktbeschreibung

Handbook of Biodegradable Polymers is a source manual for synthetic procedures, properties and applications of bioerodible polymers. The authors profile polyactides, collagen and gelatin, as well as the genetically-engineered and elastin-based polymers now emerging. They first addresses synthetic absorbable polymers, then natural, semi-synthetic and biosynthetic polymers. The last section details the surface characterization of degradable polymers, the modeling of biodegradation and non-medical polymers. This book is ideal for researchers, chemists, pharmacists and physicians who deal with biopolymers, drug delivery and targeting, bioengineering and implantable devices.
