Document Summary
Polymeric biomaterials are used widely in medicine today as synthetic or hybrid materials. This technical paper about how these polymeric biomaterials are used in application simply says the growing use of polymers as biomaterials. Different polymeric materials are used in different applications to improve the life of human being. we need to understand the properties of polymeric biomaterials such as mechanical, chemical and physical properties to achieve the desire results. So we want some key words to understand this area properly. Polymers as biomaterials are increasingly being used in the medical community to treat us. The range of uses for biomaterials is vast. Hip replacements are made from a combination of hard-wearing plastics and metals.
