Riassunto

Natural origin biopolymers are attractive for use in biomedical applications, partly due to their biocompatibility and degradation characteristics. This book comprehensively reviews this important subject in six in-depth sections. Part one discusses the sources, properties, modification and processing of natural-based polymers, while the second section reviews surface aspects. Parts three and four cover natural-origin materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, discussing scaffolds, hydrogels and injectable systems. The fifth part explains the sustained release of molecules. The final section goes over the biocompatibility of natural-based polymers.
