Polymers and polymer-based composites possess a wide spectrum ofproperties, which allow them to be used in a diverse range of medicalapplications. This volume in the book series New Concepts inPolymer Science deals with the application features of polymericimplants, their interaction with surrounding living tissues, the demandsimposed upon the objects implanted and polymeric materials used fortheir manufacture, and the main types of polymers applied and theirproperties.
Chapters 1-8 are devoted to various polymer applications in medical andbiological fields; chapters 9-10 consider individual polymeric materialsused in this field.
This monograph is designed for use as a textbook for specializations inchemical and technological courses in universities, as well as amethodical manual and directory for scientists and researchers in bothacademia and industry.
