Due to its structural and functional properties, such as antimicrobial behaviour, biodegradability, biocompatibility and ease of surface modifications, lignin-based materials have gained popularity in the biomedical field with applications ranging from tissue engineering scaffolds and wound dressing materials to drug delivery carriers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing this book, the reader will learn about the chemistry of lignin, and the characterization, fabrication and properties of lignin-based composites with different matrices (thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers \u003cem\u003eetc\u003c\/em\u003e.). In addition, the book illustrates how these materials are used in medical applications, covering drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue engineering, imaging, \u003cem\u003eetc\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding a neat overview of the current research for the biomaterials science community, this book is a one-stop resource for researchers and practitioners working on lignin-based biomaterials. For those active in the broader fields of materials science and biomedical engineering, this will be a useful reference and study aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kuruvilla Joseph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839165359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839165351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Society of Chemistry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Kuruvilla Joseph","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075890278655,"sku":"9781839165351","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_218bb958-3b2b-4d2f-bb2e-409d158f13ac.jpg?v=1685462034","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lignin-based-materials-kuruvilla-joseph-9781839165351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
