  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polymer Nanocomposites in Biomedical Engineering

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Bioengineering ((LNBE))

Abstract

This chapter is intended to provide an insight into the biomedically engineered polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). It provides an introductory review about the amorphous, semicrystalline thermoplastic PNCs. The processing techniques pertaining to the amorphous, semicrystalline thermoplastic PNCs along with their consequences on the nanocomposite formation are mentioned. The impact on the addition of various fillers such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene on the overall characteristics of the PNCs is elaborated. The examples of different amorphous and semicrystalline PNCs and their applications in biomedical engineering are discussed.
