The definitive guide to biodegradable polymer science?where we are and what's to come The most comprehensive review of biodegradable polymers already utilized or under development for clinical use, Biodegradable Polymers in Clinical Use and Clinical Development looks at the state of biodegradable polymers now and over the next five years. Implantable molecules that break down within the body over a predetermined period of time, biodegradable polymers have been employed as drug carriers, orthopedic fixation devices, and absorbable sutures. Yet while hundreds of such polymers have been developed and tested in animals, only a few have been approved or evaluated for human use. Made up of contributions from internationally renowned experts in polymer science from around the globe, this edited volume brings together coverage of: * Natural biodegradable polymers (including polysaccharides and polyesters) * Synthetic biodegradable polymers * Inorganic polymers * Biodegradable polymers for emerging clinical uses An invaluable resource for research professionals in industry and academia, including those working in chemistry, biology, materials and biomaterials science, bioengineering/biomedical, and environmental studies, the book is also aimed at the medical practitioners and pharmacists who already use biodegradable polymers.
