题目：Biodegradable Polymers: Hidden Germ in Biomedical Engineering

摘要:

A biomaterial is defined as any natural or synthetic substance engineered to interact with biological systems to direct medical treatment. Utilization of polymers or biomaterials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Biodegradable polymeric biomaterials provide significant advantage of being able to be broken down and removed after they have served their function in the body. In order to fit functional demand, materials with desired physical, chemical, biological, biomechanical and degradation properties must be selected. Fortunately, a wide range of natural and synthetic degradable polymers has been investigated for biomedical applications with novel materials constantly being developed to meet new challenges. This presentation specifically highlights the use of biodegradable polymers as biomaterials, more towards tissue engineering aspects.
