Polymer Chemistry in Biomedical Applications: A Review

Abstract

Polymer chemistry has become a virgin in contemporary biomedical science because of its flexibility, adjustable nature and wide range of application within healthcare technology. Polymers are central in enhancing the therapeutic efficacy and patient outcome with applications in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering scaffolds, diagnostic devices, and implantable medical devices. This review represents a useful report overlay of polymer chemical during biomedical application, the classifications of biomedical polymers, the synthesis process, correlation between the structure and property, and functionality in the living environment. The critical areas of application covered in this review include in the controlled delivery of drugs, regenerative medicine, wound, healing, biosensors and medical implants. Amid the numerous advantages, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and controlled functioning, polymer systems still have several solid constraints in their practice, such as chronic intoxication, immune responseAbnormalities, scaling problems, and regulatory obstacles. The review concludes with determining the future research directions that are focused on smart polymers, bio-inspired materials, personalized medicine and sustainable production of polymers. Overall, this paper demonstrates that polymer chemistry plays a crucial role in enabling the sphere of biomedical innovation, and can be applied in the present impediments that it has to overcome in order to achieve greater clinical acceptance.
