Development of Hybrid Materials Based on Polymers for Biomedical Applications: A Short Introduction
A. García-Peñas, S.C. Cifuentes, Y. Wang, V. San-Miguel
This chapter is focused on some of the most important polymers used for preparing hybrid materials applied in biomedicine. The work is divided into two parts: Non-degradable polymers used for hybrid materials in implants and degradable polymers employed to fabricate biomedical implants and devices. Each part describes the main characteristics of these structures, followed by a list of the most significant polymers and derivatives. This brief introduction could be useful for industry, students, or people interested in the recent advances of biomedical applications where polymers play an important role.
