Assessment of Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications

This book initiates with an introduction to polymeric materials, followed by various classifications and properties of polymeric implant material including various development methods of polymeric materials and their characterization techniques. An overview of various toxicology assessments of polymeric materials and polymeric materials for drug delivery system is also included. Design and analysis of polymeric materials-based components using Ansys software along with polymeric materials for additively manufactured artificial organs are also discussed.Features:Addresses assessment of polymeric materials in biomedical sciences, including classification, properties, and development of polymeric implantsCovers various topics in the field of tissue regenerationDiscusses biocompatibility, toxicity, and biodegradation of polymeric materialsExplores wide-scale characterization to study the effect of inclusion size on the mechanical properties of polymeric materialsReviews limitations and future directions on polymeric material with emphasis on biocompatibilityThis book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in biomaterials, biomedical engineering, composites, and polymers.
