Appearing in the December 2003 issue of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' AIChE Journal, this article is the first AIChE journal article to make the 10 Most Requested Papers List maintained by the Chemistry and Related Sciences Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) on their "Science Spotlight" website.
Abstract
Biomaterials are widely used in numerous medical applications. Chemical engineering has played a central role in this research and development. Polymers as biomaterials, materials and approaches used in drug and protein delivery systems, materials used as scaffolds in tissue engineering, and nanotechnology and microfabrication techniques applied to biomaterials are reviewed.
