  • More about Biodegradable Polymeric Nanocomposites: Advances in Biomedical Applications


Biodegradable polymers can help eliminate the disposal issue by reducing the need for plastic products, especially in biomedical applications. Biodegradable Polymeric Nanocomposites: Advances in Biomedical Applications explores the potential of biodegradable polymers for drug delivery, biosensors, and tissue engineering.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 257 pages
Publication date: 31 March 2021
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


A novel class of materials known as biodegradable polymers has the potential to address a mounting environmental concern. Biodegradable Polymeric Nanocomposites: Advances in Biomedical Applications explores the potential of biodegradable polymers for use in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, biosensors, and tissue engineering. Since biomaterials have a limited lifespan and are intended to break down naturally in the body after use, the development of biopolymers could significantly reduce and eliminate the need for plastic products, particularly those used in biomedical applications.

Highlights:
Biomaterials and the Design and Application of Biomaterials
This book examines the advantages and limitations of various biomaterials, including biopolymers, ceramics, biodegradable nanocomposites, and natural products-based biomaterials. It delves into the bio-nano-interface, the interaction between nanoparticles and biomaterials, explains the fundamental concepts and methods of biodegradable nanocomposites (BNCs), and highlights recent developments in polymer-based bionanocomposites. The book provides an overview of degradation properties and mechanical properties of biodegradable polymers. It also breaks down the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of starch-based polymers and outlines distinct advantages (biodegradability and nontoxicity) that make them suitable as medical polymer materials. In addition, it highlights the FDA-approved biodegradable polyester family and focuses on the state-of-the-art recent advancements in drug-delivery devices.
