Biomaterials have become an integral part of medicine today, helping in healing and restoring functionality in people with injury or disease, especially for bone implants and drug delivery systems. This has led to the development of polymers that are biocompatible, biodegradable, and/or resorbable. New research results are published almost daily on enhancing the qualities of polymers and composites to meet the ongoing and evolving challenges in the biomedical field. This new book, Bioabsorbable Polymers for Drug Carriers and Fixation Devices, deals with the latest bio-based composites, processing, and characterization for drug delivery and fixation devices.

The book first introduces various bioresorbable polymers along with their processing and characterization. It also looks at scaffolds that are multifunctional and can be used for bone support, drug delivery, and for anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial purposes. Various materials like nanomaterials, chitosan and its derivatives, biopolymers, and ceramic-based composites along with their applications are covered in this book. The authors also look at the degradation of biomaterials and propose mitigation solutions. Also reported on is the rapidly developing group of materials that have applications in fields such as dentistry medicine and soft tissue regeneration. A number of natural, synthetic, and semisynthetic-based hydrogels for wound healing applications are explored. The very exciting use of 3D printing process of biomaterials for customized implants have been detailed as well.

Key features:

  • Highlights the latest processing and characterization of the bioabsorbable composite materials.
  • Outlines a broad range of different areas such as wound healing, craniofacial, maxillofacial, drug carriers, and fixation devices for orthopedic fixations.
  • Discusses advanced techniques for the development of composites and biopolymer-based composites.
  • Covers clinical translation studies, toxicity, biocompatibility and in vitro studies for tissue regeneration or replacement, and bone repair of polymer composites.
  • Details the latest developments in synthesis, preparation, characterization, mechanical evaluation, and future challenges of composite applications in drug delivery and fixation devices
Covering a wide range of applications of bioabsorbable polymeric composites for drug carriers and fixations devices, this volume offers effective solutions for researchers, engineers, scientists, and undergraduate in fields that include biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical technology. materials science and engineering, biomedicine/medical sciences, and others.
