The structural, mechanical, and biological characterization is described in detail, followed by invaluable case studies of polymer biomaterial implants.
With comprehensive coverage of both theoretical and experimental information, this title will provide scientists with an essential guide on the topic of these materials which are regularly used for clinical applications, such as implants and drug delivery devices. However, a range of novel polymers and the development and modification of existing medical polymers means that there is an ongoing need to satisfy particular design requirements. This book explains the critical and fundamentals methods to characterize polymer materials for biomedical applications.
- Presents a self-contained reference on the characterization of polymeric biomaterials
- Provides comprehensive information on how to characterize biomedical polymers in order to improve design and synthesis
- Includes useful case studies that demonstrate the characterization of biomaterial implants
