PoSmall structures formed by the repetition of long units are called polymer. Under suitable conditions, monomers combine through polymerization reactions to form polymer molecules.Classification of PolymersPolymers can be classified as natural and synthetic based on their method of synthesis. The main advantage of natural polymers is their biocompatibility, while synthetic polymers exhibit significantly better mechanical properties and thermal stability. Newly developed polymeric materials based

Polymeric BiomaterialsDefinition and ClassificationPolymeric biomaterials are versatile organic macromaterials characterized by diverse physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, making them highly suitable for applications across medical diagnostics, therapeutic delivery, and regenerative medicine, owing to their inherent biocompatibilty.. They can be broadly categorized into:Natural polymers (e.g., collagen, chitosan, alginate, fibrin), valued for biocompatibility and low immunogenicity.Sy
