Polymers in Medicine
The growing reliance on new polymers and biomaterials in the medical field has proven useful for tissue engineering, drug delivery, prosthesis implants and more.
The Park Systems 2019 Materials Matter Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series continues with Polymers in Medicine - An Introduction. Polymers are typically hosts and carriers but also can be the active ingredient in any formulation. This installment of the webinar series will review the different polymer classes used in the medical field, and discuss the use of new processing methods, including 3D printing, and their importance to materials development.
This webinar is the sixth in our 2019 Material Science Research and AFM Webinar Series “Materials Matter,” designed to help researchers understand leading edge developments in Materials Science Research and Applications using Atomic Force Microscopy.
