Biomedical Applications of Polymers -An Overview

Abstract

Polymers are macromolecules, versatile in structure, constitution and properties. They have wide range of applications in various fields such as biophysics, medicine, electronics, and other branches of science and technology. Among these polymers biomedical polymers are specially mentioned due to their less toxicity in vivo, easy to process and sterilized, better shelf life, light weight, and remarkable properties suited to the applications [1]. This paper explores the various applications of biomedical polymers in the field of medicine.
