Hybrid Polymeric Systems for Biomedical Applications explores the development and utilization of hybrid polymeric systems for use in a range of biomedical applications. Hybrid systems combine the specialized properties of each polymer type to produce a more targeted material which is much more tightly aligned with the intended application and outcome. This book covers a broad selection of hybrid polymeric systems as well as a variety of key biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound healing, and more.

Prof. Rotimi Sadiku, currently a Professor at the Department of Chemical, Metallurgical, and Materials Engineering at Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa, earned his BSc. [Hons] and a PhD from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, specializing in Polymer Physics with a focus on Polymer Processing, X-ray Diffraction, Thermal Characteristics, Rheology, and Microscopy of Polymers techniques. His academic journey includes a role as a Lecturer II at the Federal University of Technology in Nigeria, followed by a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Genova/CNR, Italy. Upon returning to Nigeria, he continued his career by joining the Federal University of Technology, where he served as a Senior Lecturer. He also spent a year as a Research Fellow at the KTH Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. In January 2004, he assumed his current position as a Research Professor at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), South Africa. Prof B.A. Aderibigbe is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry, University of Fort Hare, South Africa. She obtained her PhD and MSc degree from the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. Her field of research is the design of polymer-based drug delivery systems and wound dressings, and synthesis and biological evaluation of organic molecules. She has authored over 39 book chapters and has published over 70 manuscripts in high impact journals. She is also a Research Associate with Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, South Africa.
