Illustrates approaches to custom designing unique, fiber-forming materials for equally unique applications. This title includes an example of the development and application of a fresh absorbable system, a condensed encyclopedia on novel PEG-based copolyesters, and the a comprehensive discussion of a novel class of absorbable tissue adhesives.

Interest in biodegradable and absorbable polymers is growing rapidly in large part because of their biomedical implant and drug delivery applications. This text illustrates creative approaches to custom designing unique, fiber-forming materials for equally unique applications. It includes an example of the development and application of a new absorbable system, a condensed encyclopedia on novel PEG-based copolyesters, and the first comprehensive discussion of a novel class of absorbable tissue adhesives. The book also provides up-to-date information on important tissue engineering technologies and approaches to utilizing these technologies for long awaited practical applications.
