  • ID: 6251435
Biopolymer Applications in 3D Bioprinting for Biomedical Engineering covers the fundamentals of polymer-based bioprinting materials, as well as the latest developments and advancements in 3D bioprinting processes. The book starts with an introduction to the principles of biomedical engineering and discusses the application of additive manufacturing in the biomedical field. This is followed by an overview of cell culture in 3D bioprinting, including in-situ bioprinting and in vitro studies and a review of the use of bio-based polymers and synthetic polymers in 3D bioprinting, with a focus on analyzing their properties and selecting the most suitable polymers for specific 3D bioprinting projects.

The book's final section explores the applications and challenges of 3D bioprinting in various areas, including anatomical structure, organ bioprinting, skin bioprinting, drug delivery, grafts, blood vessels, orthodontics, ocular and neural tissues, and composite tissues. This book is a valuable reference for industrial and academic researchers, advanced students, and R&D professionals looking for an authoritative overview of biopolymer materials and products prepared by 3D bioprinting.
