Description
Summary:Polymers are important and attractive biomaterials for researchers and clinical applications due to the ease of tailoring their chemical, physical and biological properties for target devices. Due to this versatility they are rapidly replacing other classes of biomaterials such as ceramics or metals. As a result, the demand for biomedical polymers has grown exponentially and supports a diverse and highly monetized research community. Currently worth 1.2bn in 2009 (up from 650m in 2000), biomedical polymers are expected to achieve a CAGR of 9.8% until 2015, supporting a current research co.
