Biodegradable Polymers for Bone Tissue Engineering

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Industrial Applications of Renewable Biomass Products

Abstract

Nowadays, tissue engineering is one of the research areas of fastest growing development, supported by the exponential growth in the number of publications in the most important scientific journals. The progress in this interdisciplinary area is precisely because of the cooperative labors of chemists, engineers, biologists, and others who have turned their efforts to the development of new polymeric materials with specific properties for the regeneration of tissues and especially those with applications in regeneration of bone tissue. The materials used in this application must meet a large number of requirements, among which may be noted adequate biodegradability according to the time required for regeneration of tissue, mechanical properties for the intended application, biocompatibility (adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts), osteoinduction, and no cytotoxicity. This chapter presents the main developments in the area of biodegradable biomaterials, their features, and more relevant properties, currently developed for bone tissue engineering.
