商品簡介
Though polymers are becoming increasingly important in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, they are rarely taught in those curricula. Having honed the material in actual courses, Labarre (polymer chemistry), Gilles Ponchel (pharmaceutical technology and biopharmacy, both U. of Paris-South XI), and Christine Vauthier (CNRS) introduce the general concepts of polymer science, and survey some specialty polymers used and developed for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. After explaining the benefit of studying polymers in the health sciences, they cover general characteristics of polymers; main methods and processes to synthesize polymers; and special properties of polymers, case studies, and detailed examples of application.
