Author Description

This book contains papers on bioactive polymers presented by distinguished scientists at the Third International Conference on Polymers in Medicine, sponsored by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and the European Society for Biomaterials. In accordance with the scope and objectives of the Conference, the papers shed light on two major topics connected with the formulation and utilization of bioactive polymers and related composites in the fields of biomaterials, polymeric drugs and drug delivery systems. Polymers in Medicine III thus contains much useful information in an interdisciplinary area that constitutes a suitable outlet for both conventional and specialty polymers.
