Polymers for Biomedicine

Highlighting dynamic developments in polymer synthesis, this book focuses on the chemical techniques to synthesize and characterize biomedically relevant polymers and macromolecules. * Aids researchers developing polymers and materials for biomedical applications * Describes biopolymers from a synthetic perspective, which other similar books do not do * Covers areas that include: cationically-charged macromolecules, pseudo-peptides, polydrugs and prodrugs, controlled radical polymerization, self-assembly, polycondensates, and polymers for surface modification
