Polymer Chemistry

Polymers in Medicine, Biology and personal care

Homo- and copolymers of polyamides, polyesters, polyanhydrates, poly (ortho esters), poly (amido amines), and poly (β-amino esters) are the important biomedical polymers which are hydrolytically degradable. These are also called biopolymers and smart polymers which are mainly used in biotechnology and medicine Broad spectrums of polymers; natural polymers, synthetic polymers, organic polymers as well as silicones are used in a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products as film-formers, emulsifiers, thickeners, modifiers, protective barriers, and as aesthetic enhancers. Polymers & materials for the biomedical field. Synthetic polymers have been used for many years in the biomedical field because of their valuable and adjustable characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, good mechanical properties, etc.
