Polymeric Biomaterials

Polymeric Biomaterials is a class of biomaterials composed primarily of polymers—natural or synthetic—that are engineered to perform, augment, or replace functions in orthopaedic, orthopedic, or periodontal tissues by exhibiting biocompatibility, controlled degradation, and tunable mechanical properties distinct from metallic or ceramic biomaterials.
