Functional Biomaterials

Design and Development for Biotechnology, Pharmacology, and Biomedicine, 2 Volumes.

A succinct handbook explaining interdisciplinary processing, methods, and applications of bio-based materials

This book merges the two most important trends in biomaterials: functionalization and renewable chemistry. It covers a variety of biopolymers and various approaches for the transformation of these biopolymers into functional units. Sample topics covered by the two well-qualified authors include:

• Fundamental knowledge of biopolymers–natural ones, such as cellulose and other polysaccharides, and synthetic ones, such as polyethylene
• The origin, classifications, chemical nature, and isolation methods of specific biopolymers
• The different classical and modern approaches for the transformation of biopolymers into different shapes, ranging from thin films (model surfaces), to nanoparticles, to nanofibers, all the way to 3D scaffolds
• The morphology, structure, shape, thermal, electrical, and surface properties of biomaterials

This all-inclusive reference guide, which covers fundamentals, methods, and applications alike, is a key resource for both students and practicing scientists involved in programs of study or disciplines that intersect with the field of biomaterials.
