Toxicology of Biomedical Polymer-based Nanocomposite

Abstract

This paper deals with various types of biomedical polymers and nanocomposites for the biomedical systems, devices, and diversity of applications. The toxic hazards may arise out of the applications of biomedical polymers and nanocomposites. The potential toxicity of monomers, additives, and fillers used in the manufacture of biomedical polymers and nanocomposites may lead to toxicological effects of these materials. The processing of these materials may be carefully controlled for sterilization and to prevent the toxic impact on human tissues and organs. New quality control measures and stringent toxicity evaluation methods must be developed for the safe use of these materials. Future efforts may focus the removal of systemic toxicity of biomedical polymers and nanocomposites
