Features: Medical polymer materials are an important component of biomedical materials, a category of materials used for diagnosis, treatment, and organ regeneration, which play a role in extending patients' lives and improving their quality of life. This book briefly reviews the development history of biomedical materials, the sources of medical polymer materials, and some practical applications that have been achieved. It also introduces the mechanisms and design of medical polymer materials such as anticoagulant materials, interventional treatment materials, and artificial organs. Finally, it discusses the functions and preparation techniques of polymer tissue engineering materials such as natural biomaterials, tissue engineering scaffolds, and microcapsules. Many of the principles and techniques in this book are also applicable to the design and preparation of regenerative medical materials. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in biomedical material research and students and teachers of material medicine.
