Polymeric Biomaterials Chemistry

This book explores the methods of preparing and modifying polymers for various biomaterials applications, especially polymer conjugation. It reviews basic concepts, key issues, and highlighted topics in a concise manner rather than covering the whole of biomaterials science "dictionary style" as do many other books. As such, it is particularly accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals and researchers already working in the field.
