Hybrid Polymeric Systems for Biomedical Applications

Hybrid Polymeric Systems for Biomedical Applications explores the development and utilization of hybrid polymeric systems for use in a range of biomedical applications. Hybrid systems combine the specialized properties of each polymer type to produce a more targeted material which is much more tightly aligned with the intended applications and outcomes. This book covers a broad selection of hybrid polymeric systems as well as a variety of key biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound healing, and more.
