Bioresorbable Polymers and their Composites: Characterization and Fundamental Processing for Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Development provides a holistic view of these unique materials and their usage in a range of biomedical applications. The book is evenly divided between fundamentals, processing methods and modeling approaches, and includes detailed coverage of a variety of applications, such as drug delivery, medical devices and wound healing. Key aspects including biocompatibility, biodegradability and toxicology are also thoroughly covered, enabling the reader to be fully informed when fabricating and utilizing their selected bioresorbable polymer.
This book is an interdisciplinary and important reference for researchers in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science and regenerative medicine, as well as R&D groups in the development of medical devices.
- Introduces the reader to various processing and modeling techniques for bioresorbable polymers, including electrospinning, molecular and finite element modeling
- Covers a range of key bioresorbable composites, such as PCL, PLA/PLLA and PHA/PHB/PHBV
- Explores a wide selection of biomedical applications of bioresorbable polymers, from tissue engineering and stents, to biosensors and medical devices/implants

About the Author
Dr. Manunya Okhawilai is a researcher at Metallurgy and Materials Science Research Institute, Chulalongkorn University. Her interest lies in polymer blends and polymer composite. Her main research areas are ballistic armour made from pure polymer composite, bipolar plate for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell and solid-state polymer electrolyte for energy storage.
She has published over 20 publications including conference papers. Moreover, she has published book chapters in “Advanced and Emerging Polybenzoxazine Science and Technology published by Elsevier.
Prof Kheng-Lim Goh is the director of research at the Newcastle University of Singapore, and associate professor in mechanics of materials. He leads the Advanced Composite Research Group where the research is focused on the mechanics of composite materials, covering development (lightweight composite materials), damage studies and repair, sustainability (UN SDG, Net Zero), mechanical systems and structures underpinning composite materials, with applications from aerospace, to automotive, construction and biomedical industry. He has published 100+ research articles in several international journals, conference proceedings and book chapters. As a Global Engagement Fellow presently he is working with his colleagues at University of Pittsburg, USA, on materials and sustainability.
Seeram Ramakrishna is the Director of the Center for Nanofibres and Nanotechnology at the National University of Singapore (NUS), which is ranked among the top 20 universities in the world. He is regarded as the modern father of electrospinning. He is an elected Fellow of UK Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng); Singapore Academy of Engineering; Indian National Academy of Engineering; and ASEAN Academy of Engineering & Technology. He is an elected Fellow of the International Union of Societies of Biomaterials Science and Engineering (FBSE); Institution of Engineers Singapore; ISTE, India; Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining, UK; and American Association of the Advancement of Science; ASM International; American Society for Mechanical Engineers; American Institute for Medical & Biological Engineering, USA. He is an editor of Elsevier journal Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering.
Dr. Pooria Pasbakhsh holds degrees in Material Science and Engineering, Metallurgy and Material Selection, and a PhD in Polymer Composites. With over 17 years of international research and industrial experience, he is a multidisciplinary materials scientist and Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne. His work integrates chemistry, geology, and philosophy to develop sustainable bioplastics reinforced with Halloysite Nanotubes, creating smart nanocomposites with self-healing and antimicrobial properties. He has engineered active packaging solutions and transient materials, and currently leads circular economy projects on subsea infrastructure upcycling and carbon-sequestering hemp construction materials. Recognized among the “World’s Top 2% Scientists since 2020, his impact spans materials, polymers, and chemistry.
