Biomedical Applications of Biodegradable Polyesters
The focus in the field of biomedical engineering has shifted in recent years to biodegradable polymers and, in particular, polyesters. Dozens of polyester-based medical devices are commercially available, and every year more are introduced to the market. The mechanical performance and wide range of biodegradation properties of this class of polymers allow for high degrees of selectivity for tar...
متن کاملBiomedical Applications of Biodegradable Polymers.
Utilization of polymers as biomaterials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Specifically, polymeric biomaterials that are biodegradable provide the significant advantage of being able to be broken down and removed after they have served their function. Applications are wide ranging with degradable polymers being used clinically as surgical sutures and implants. In order to ...
متن کاملSingle crystal morphologies of biodegradable aliphatic polyesters
Single crystals of biodegradable aliphatic polyesters, poly([R]-3-hydroxybutyrate), poly([R]-3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(L-lactic acid), poly( -propiolactone), poly(4-hydroxybutyrate), poly(Æ-valerolactone), poly("caprolactone), poly(ethylene succinate) and poly(tetramethylene adipate), were grown from dilute solution by isothermal crystallization, and the crystal structures and morphologies were ...
متن کاملBiodegradable, elastic shape-memory polymers for potential biomedical applications.
The introduction of biodegradable implant materials as well as minimally invasive surgical procedures in medicine has substantially improved health care within the past few decades. This report describes a group of degradable thermoplastic polymers that are able to change their shape after an increase in temperature. Their shape-memory capability enables bulky implants to be placed in the body ...
