Biopolymer-Based Formulations: Biomedical and Food Applications

Biopolymer-Based Formulations: Biomedical and Food Applications presents the very latest advances in the synthesis and characterization of advanced biopolymeric formulations, for use in state-of-the-art applications across the fields of biomedicine and food science. The book begins by introducing the fundamentals of biopolymer formulations, assessing current applications, future trends, and the environmental, ethical and medical considerations involved. This is followed by comprehensive and systematic coverage of biopolymeric architectures, organized by the nano, micro and macro scales. The final section of the book focuses on novel applications and recent developments in the field, opening the door to further research and to the implementation of advanced biopolymeric materials. This book is an essential resource for researchers, scientists and advanced students across a range of disciplines, including in biopolymer science, polymer science, polymer chemistry, polymer composites, plastics engineering, biomaterials, materials science, biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, food science, and medicine. This is also of great interest to R&D professionals, scientists and engineers across the plastics, food, biomedical, and pharmaceutical industries. Provides in-depth coverage of the methods for the characterization of physical properties of biopolymeric architecturesSupports a range of novel applications, including scaffolds, implant coatings, drug delivery, and nutraceutical encapsulation systemsIncludes the use of experimental data and mathematical modelling, enabling the reader to analyse and compare the properties of different polymeric gels INDICE: 1.
