Biomedical Polymers provides a comprehensive overview of the design, properties, processing, and biomedical applications of polymeric materials used in modern healthcare and medical technologies. The book examines the role of polymers as biomaterials in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, medical implants, and diagnostic systems. The text covers a wide range of topics, including polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering, biodegradable polymers for controlled drug delivery, hydrogels for cell encapsulation, natural polymers for regenerative applications, and advanced biomaterials for cardiovascular and orthopedic devices. Particular attention is given to the use of polymers in artificial heart valves, vascular grafts, joint replacement components, and biosensor technologies. Through contributions from leading researchers, the book discusses material selection, biocompatibility, degradation behavior, processing methods, and clinical performance of biomedical polymers. It highlights current developments and future trends in biomaterials research, making it a valuable reference for students, researchers, biomedical engineers, materials scientists, and healthcare professionals involved in the development of advanced medical devices and therapeutic systems.
