Dalla quarta di copertina

Polysaccharides have experienced an increase in biomedical research due to their outstanding properties such as non-toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Functional Polysaccharides for Biomedical Applications examines the fundamentals and properties of these natural materials and their potential biomedical applications. With an emphasis on therapeutic and sensing applications, the book also reviews how polysaccharides can be modified for tissue engineering applications.

The first part of the book discusses the basics of polysaccharides and gives an overview of the various potential applications. The second part of the book looks in more depth at novel materials and technologies for use in tissue regeneration and therapeutics. The final section of the book details current biomedical applications with information on sensing and diagnosis.

With a strong focus on materials, engineering and application, this book is a valuable resource for those with an interest in harnessing the biomedical potential of natural polymers.
