The use of biopolymers specifically attracted the focus on the development of therapeutic polymeric systems. The exclusive features of biopolymers, such as biodegradability and biocompatibility make them highly sought after, and major research conducted with them has resulted in various therapeutic systems. However, until now only a few showed a potential to be appropriate for human use.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter covers a single biopolymer, its properties, and biomedical applications. The chapters are arranged systematically, with the most common biopolymers discussed early in the book to give more insight into the field. Further, a specific chapter is dedicated to the application of biopolymers for wound healing. Later, specific chapters are dedicated to the application of bioplastics and biopolymers for the development of medical devices and biosensors, respectively. Additionally, a chapter is dedicated to the application of biopolymers in the field of dentistry, with a special focus on their risk to human health. Keeping in mind recent advanced technologies, a chapter is dedicated solely to the latest progress of biopolymers in 3D and 4D printing for biomedical applications. The final chapter comprehensively explains the future perspectives of biopolymers in the biomedical field. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is a reference source for scientists, research scholars, chemical and polymer engineers, biologists, biotechnologists, polymer technologists, industrialists, health experts, and policymakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Introduction to Biopolymers 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGurleen Kaur, Rajinder Kaur and Sukhminderjit Kaur\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Classification of Biopolymers 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Commonly Used Biopolymers 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Preparation of Biopolymers 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Commercially Available Biopolymers 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 Biomedical Applications of Biopolymers 11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.7 Conclusion 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Biomedical Applications of Chitosan and Its Derivatives 25\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHitesh Malhotra and Rupesh K.
