Advanced Polymers in Medicine

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2014-12-02
  • -
  • Publisher: Springer

The book provides an up-to-date overview of the diverse medical applications of advanced polymers. The book opens by presenting important background information on polymer chemistry and physicochemical characterization of polymers. This serves as essential scientific support for the subsequent chapters, each of which is devoted to the applications of polymers in a particular medical specialty. The coverage is broad, encompassing orthopedics, ophthalmology, tissue engineering, surgery, dentistry, oncology, drug delivery, nephrology, wound dressing and healing, and cardiology. The development of polymers that enhance the biocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices and the incorporation of polymers within biosensors are also addressed. This book is an excellent guide to the recent advances in polymeric biomaterials and bridges the gap between the research literature and standard textbooks on the applications of polymers in medicine.

Konferenz von Bauhaus Erde und der Päpstlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Juni 2022 Die gebaute Umwelt ist ein entscheidender Faktor in der Klimagleichung. Gebäude und Infrastrukturen sind für etwa 40 Prozent der weltweiten Treibhausgasemissionen direkt verantwortlich. Glücklicherweise besteht die Möglichkeit, die gebaute Umwelt von einer Kohlenstoff-Quelle zu einer Kohlenstoff-Senke umzubauen, z. B. durch Hochhäuser in Holzbauweise, Methoden der zirkulären Bioökonomie, KI-gestütztes Design, intelligente Recyclingtechnologie, multifunktionale Flächennutzung, integriertes regionales Ressourcenmanagement und gemeindebasierte Stadtentwicklung, um nur einige zu nennen. Der Band fasst...

  • Publisher: CRC Press

Biological materials and their applications have drawn increasing attention among scientists. Cellulose is an abundant, renewable, biodegradable, economical, thermally stable, and light material, and it has found application in pharmaceuticals, coatings, food, textiles, laminates, sensors, actuators, flexible electronics, and flexible displays. Its nano form has extraordinary surface properties, such as higher surface area than cellulose; hence, nanocellulose can be used as a substitute for cellulose. Among many other sustainable, functional nanomaterials, nanocellulose is attracting growing interest in environmental remediation technologies because of its many unique properties and function...
