23 Jul BIOABSORBABLE, BIOCOMPATIBLE POLYMERS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING
Abstract
Bioabsorbable biocompatible polymers which provide a good match between thei r properties and those of certain tissue structures are provided. The bioabsorbable biocompatible polymers can be prepared with tensile strengths, elongation to breaks, and/or tensile modulus (Young’s modulus) values of the tissues of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, kidney and genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, as well as those of the oral, dental, periodontal, and skin tissues. Methods for processing the bioabsorbable biocompatible polymers into tissues engineering devices are also provided.
