Description
Natural Composites for Biomedical Applications provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of this topic, aiding the reader in moving towards more sustainable materials for use in biomedical applications. The unique properties of composite materials make them advantageous for use in a range of applications, particularly in biomedical environments which can be subjective due to physiological differences. Natural composites provide a biocompatible, sustainable, and renewable alternative to traditional composites, reducing biomedical waste and environmental impact whilst ensuring high treatment efficacy. Natural Composites for Biomedical Applications is a useful reference for researchers working in materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science and chemical engineering.
