Abstract

One of the major problems encountered in modern medicine is the finding of new materials that can be integrated in the human body without rejection by the host tissue. In this regard, all over the world the research was focused on the development of novel hybrid materials by combing polymer science and nanotechnology for different biomedical applications, such as drug delivery or biomimetic implants. For a successfully integration in human body these nanoengineered materials must have specific properties as good biocompatibility and biodegradability.
