Biomedical Polymers
1994,
272 pages, 86 figures, by Shalaby W. Shalaby
$139.95
Description
This volume fully provides a unique update by a team of technical authorities
in the fast growing area of designer polymers, featuring predictable half-lives
in the biological environment, as biomedical devices or drug carriers.
Striking examples of these polymers in useful forms include the "vanishing"
surgical sutures or staples for wound repair without the need for their
removal as the augmented tissues regain their normal properties.
