Sumario:"This book discusses natural, synthetic, biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers and their applications. Chapters review polymeric scaffolds for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems, the use of polymers in cell encapsulation, their role as replacement materials for heart valves and arteries, and their applications in joint replacement. The book also discusses the use of polymers in biosensor applications. This book will be a reference for scientists and all those concerned with the development and use of this group of biomaterials."--Jacket
