Injectable biomaterials rheology

The two most important areas of research when developing an injectable biomaterial for potential human use are (1) material characterization and (2) biocompatibility testing. Material characterization requires extensive rheological testing to assess a material s delivery performance and mechanical stability. The following lists summarize the general material characterization tests required by the FDA. [Pg.339]
