Polymer Science and Polymer Chemistry

Polymer scientists has been created a different farming methodology research in the development of biodegradable polymers, which could find enormous applications in the area of medical science. Today, different biopolymers have been prepared and utilized in different biomedical applications. Despite the apparent proliferation of biopolymers in medical science, the science and technology of biopolymers is still in its early stages of development. Tremendous window exists and will remain to exist for the penetration of biopolymers in every facet of medical science through intensive research and development. Therefore, this chapter addresses various polymerization methods and techniques employed for the preparation of biopolymers. The emphasis is on the properties of biopolymers, synthetic protocols, and their biomedical applications. In order to make the useful biomedical devices from the polymers to meet the demands of medical science, various processing techniques employed for the development of devices have been discussed.
