Polyimides for Biomedicine fills a crucial information gap by systemically reviewing the development and use of polyimides across a selection of biomedical applications. As highly regarded engineering materials, PIs have found utility across aviation, aerospace, microelectronics, and more due to their exceptional attributes and synthesis capabilities. This book delves into the pivotal role PIs play in biomedicine, encompassing substrates for cell culture, biosensor membranes, and medical tubing systems. Emphasizing their unmatched thermal stability, mechanical robustness, and chemical resistance, this book comprehensively explores the intricate interplay between PI structure, performance, and bio-applications. Polyimides for Biomedicine is an indispensable resource for researchers in the fields of materials science, materials chemistry, chemical engineering, as well as those working in the biosciences with an interest in the development and application of novel materials for medical treatment.
