New Polymeric Biomaterials
- Technology Application
- The new biomaterials can also be used for many other biomedical and biotechnology applications such as: implants, prosthesis, tissue engineering, drug delivery, sensors, substrates for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAS), materials for use in contact lenses, and implanted devices. One application of them is as gene delivery vectors for gene therapy.
- Detailed Technology Description
- The invention is on new polymeric biomaterials. The new biomaterials were created by chemical synthesis with carbohydrates and amino acids as building blocks. The biopolymers have a specific alternating structure between carbohydrate and peptide units.
