Pharmaceutical Polymers Used in Tissue Engineering

Interestingly, tissue engineering is not an esoteric concept of the future. It describes multiple platforms that are in use at this time. Most of the engineered scaffolds are 

Generally, the choice of the manufacturing method affects the type of fibers that nanoparticles will produce. This in turn will have consequences for the scaffold. There are three techniques known as phase-separation, electrospinning and self-assembly which can be employed for the construction of nanoscaffolds. Some common polymers used for nanoparticle fabrication by the electrospray technique are listed in the Table 11.1 below.
