Abstract

Polymeric biomaterials feature a wide range of medical applications due to their high biological suitability (noncytotoxicity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility), enhanced mechanical behavior, and good processability. Besides these characteristics, chemical, electrical, and physical properties can be improved by regulating the structural and morphological parameters during processing of polymeric biomaterials. Because of the high clinical expectations, scientists focus on advanced processing techniques. Furthermore, due to the extremely hard-working conditions of polymeric biomaterials, many studies deal with numerous precise characterization techniques, in order to determine how properly polymeric biomaterials were processed, before being used in clinical applications. Therefore, this chapter is focused on gaining a deeper understanding of processing methods and characterization techniques of polymeric biomaterials for providing an extensive overview and a guide for developing polymeric biomaterials within the scope of clinical framework.
