The biocompatibility of novel starch-based polymers and composites : in vitro studies

Studies with biodegradable starch-based polymers have recently demonstrated that these materials have a range of properties, which make them suitable for use in several biomedical applications, ranging from bone plates and screws to drug delivery carriers and tissue engineering scaffolds. The aim of...
