<P>Biomaterials have had a major impact on the practice of contemporary medicine and patient care. Growing into a major interdisciplinary effort involving chemists, biologists, engineers, and physicians, biomaterials development has enabled the creation of high-quality devices, implants, and drug carriers with greater biocompatibility and biofunctionality. The fast-paced research and increasing interest in finding new and improved biocompatible or biodegradable polymers has provided a wealth of new information, transforming this edition of <STRONG>Polymeric Biomaterials</STRONG><B></B>into a two-volume set.<BR><BR>This volume, <STRONG>Polymeric Biomaterials: Structure and Function</STRONG>, contains 25 authoritative chapters written by experts from around the world. Contributors cover the following topics:</P><P></P><UL><P><LI>The structure and properties of synthetic polymers including polyesters, polyphosphazenes, and elastomers</LI><P></P><P><LI>The structure and properties of natur
