FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book contains the collected papers presented at the Inter­ national Symposium on Polymers in Medicine, Biomedical and Pharma­ cological Applications, which was held at Porto Cervo, Italy, May 24-28, 1982. To the best of our knowledge, this symposium was the first to be organized in Italy entirely devoted to the several aspects of the use of synthetic and semisynthetic macromolecular materials in the field of biomedical and pharmacological applications. The inten~ tion of the Organizing Committee of the symposium was the promotion of a scientific and cultural initiative to gain the attention of various experts in line research of the potential of suitably de­ signed "man-made" polymeric materials in biomedical applications. With highly qualified and worldwide attendance, the above goal was fully satisfied. Indeed the opportunity of meeting to­ gether in a well conceived and discreet corner of the world, scien­ tists with different cultural backgrounds and objectives helped ex­ tend the meaning of the symposium far beyond the Italian borders and the perspectives of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) , the major sponsor of the meeting.
