Biopolymers in Medical Application: A Study
Abstract: Biopolymers – naturally derived macromolecules, such as polysaccharides, proteins, and polyhydroxyalkanoates – have emerged as a versatile toolbox for next-generation medical technologies. Their intrinsic biocompatibility, tunable degradation kinetics, and capacity for molecular functionalization enable the design of devices that communicate with living tissue rather than merely coexist with it. This review synthesizes recent advances across four inter-related fronts: (i) drug-delivery carriers, where chitosan-based nanoparticles and hyaluronic-acid hydrogels provide stimulus-responsive release …
