| Summary: | "Intrinsically conducting polymers and their derivatives are being employed in tissue engineering due to their promising electrical conductivity as bioactive scaffolds for tissue regeneration (i.e., bone, nerve, muscle and cardiac tissue engineering and wound healing). Nevertheless, their mechanical brittleness and poor processability limit their applications, resulting in the development of composites, which are based on conductive polymers. The main objective of this book is to summarize and review the preparation methods; physicochemical and mechanical properties; biological properties; and latest advances of both conductive polymers and their composites for tissue engineering applications. Researchers, scientists, and upper level students working in the areas of biomedical engineering, polymers, and biomaterials science will find Electrically Conducting Polymers and Their Composites for Tissue Engineering to be an essential reference."-- |
