Biopolymers for Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications.
Biopolymers for Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications.
Biopolymers are playing an increasingly pivotal role in medicine and pharmacy with applications in tissue engineering, regeneration medicine, and drug carrier systems.
With articles taken directly from the 12 volume "Biopolymers" series, this title covers a selection of biopolymers successfully being used for medical and pharmaceutical applications.
All classes of biopolymers are covered with each chapter highlighting one particular substance or application and addressing all aspects from structure, properties, biosynthesis and biodegradation, to applications and patents.
Structured for easy data comparison, this is an ideal reference for medium sized laboratories and libraries.
