Know about the book -

Biomedical Applications of Self-Healing Polymers is written by Robin Augustine and published by Woodhead Publishing Limited. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0443406391 (ISBN 10) and 9780443406393 (ISBN 13).

Biomedical Applications of Self-Healing Polymers addresses the critical need for materials that can self-repair, enhancing the durability and functionality of biomedical devices and tissue engineering scaffolds. The design, characterization, and fabrication of self-healing polymers is covered in detail, as well as the key preparation methods, classification, and mechanisms of action. This book also explores the integration of nanoparticles in self-healing polymers and the creation of self-healing scaffolds for tissue regeneration. The second part of the book focuses on the biomedical applications of self-healing polymers, such as wound healing, drug delivery, cell and tissue engineering, medical devices, dental restorative materials, and 3D-printed biomedical constructs. It includes in vitro and in vivo evaluations, discussing current limitations and future prospects. Biomedical Applications of Self-Healing Polymers is of interest to academics and researchers in materials science, biomedical engineering, and pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.
