Polymers have a wide range of physical and mechanical properties suited to many purposes in medicine. For example, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), which resembles ...

Hendriks: If we look at the evolution of biomaterials technology then we can see that, initially, the choice of biomedical materials for use in the body was based on achieving a suitable combination ...

Biomaterials are materials used to build medical devices or implants/prostheses, meant to restore or replace lost or impaired body functions. They are derived from natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic ...

However, there has remained a need for cell-free biomaterials that are more robust and cost-efficient to manufacture, according to Ameer. "Incorporating conductive polymers into non-conductive ...
