Review of Polymer Forms, Properties and Application in Medical Field
Nuha Salih Mustafa
Abstract: Multiple biological, synthetic and hybrid polymers used for multiple medical applications. A wide range of different polymers is available, and they have further the advantage to be tunable in physical, chemical and biological properties in a wide range to match the requirements of specific applications. This review gives a brief overview about the introduction, polymer types, properties and developments of polymers in medicine in general, addressing first stable polymers, then polymers with degradability as a first biological function, followed by various other functional and responsive polymers. There is subsequently an overview of the most frequently used polymer classes. The main body of the review then structured according to the medical applications, where key requirements of the applications and the currently used polymer solutions they indicated.
Keywords: Polymer, Properties, application in Medical Field, Review
