This book offers a complete overview of photonic-enhanced materials from material development to a final photonic biomedical application. It includes fundamental, applied, and industrial photonics. The authors cover synthesis, the modification and the processing of a variety of (bio)polymers including thermoplasts (e.g. polyesters) and hydrogels (e.g. proteins and polysaccharides) for a plethora of applications in the field of optics and regenerative medicine.
Offers an overview of the complete value chain from material development towards a biomedical application in which light (cfr. photonics) is involved
Details polymer development and processing for photonic-enhanced materials
Includes discussion of detection mechanisms in sensing applications
