Natural and Synthetic Biomedical Polymers provides a comprehensive overview of the chemistry, synthesis, characterization, processing, and biomedical applications of both natural and synthetic polymeric biomaterials. The book examines the fundamental principles governing the design and performance of polymers used in modern medical devices, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery systems. The text covers a broad range of biomaterials, including proteins, poly(amino acids), polysaccharides, chitosan, polyesters, polyurethanes, poly(ester amide)s, polyanhydrides, and polyphosphazenes. Detailed discussions are presented on polymer synthesis, processing techniques, hierarchical characterization methods, biodegradation behavior, biocompatibility, and structure–property relationships that influence biomedical performance. Particular attention is given to the development of advanced biodegradable and bioactive polymers for tissue regeneration, controlled drug release, and implantable medical devices. Through contributions from leading researchers, the book highlights current advances and emerging trends in biomaterials science and biomedical engineering. It serves as a valuable reference for students, researchers, biomedical engineers, materials scientists, and healthcare professionals involved in the development and application of polymer-based medical technologies.
