Interest in biodegradable and absorbable polymers continues to grow rapidly inlarge part because of their biomedical implant and drug delivery applications.This text illustrates creative approaches to custom designing unique fiberforming materials for equally unique applications. It includes an example ofthe development and application of a new absorbable system a condensedencyclopedia on novel PEGbased copolyesters and the first comprehensivediscussion of a novel class of absorbable tissue adhesives. The book alsoprovides uptodate information on important tissue engineering technologiesand approaches to utilizing these technologies for long awaited practicalapplications. «
