Polymer Science and Polymer Chemistry

Synthetic and natural polymers (biopolymers) are frequently used in tissue engineering because of valuable properties e.g. biocompatibility, biodegradability, good mechanical properties etc. For these reasons, a lot of current research studies for medicine is focused on this group of materials. Polymers provides feasibility to fulfill the main assumption of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, which is formation of wholesome tissue in in vivo conditions.
