Biopolymers remain a hot topic, with major medical and pharmaceutical industries turning to natural materials and their unique properties with regard to biodegradability and resorbability. This two-volume handbook compiles a selection of important substances successfully being used in medicine and pharmacy with articles taken directly from the Biopolymers series.

Since 1994 Alexander Steinbüchel has been Full Professor of Microbiology and Director of the Institute for Microbiology at the University of Münster. After his PhD in 1983 he spent one year at the Rockefeller University New York and in 1992 he received the Philip Morris Research Award. Alexander Steinbüchel has over 250 publications to his name and has organized several symposia focusing on biopolymers.
Robert Marchessault has spent half of his scientific career in industry, mainly at the Xerox Research Center of Canada where he worked in the field of materials science, and the other half in academia. He is now Full Professor at the Chemistry Department of McGill University in Montreal with a current research interest in biopolymer materials for imaging applications and drug delivery.
"This handbook gives an excellent review of the current state of knowledge on such biopolymers in term of their discovery, occurrence, chemical and physical properties, biosynthesis and degradation, molecular genetics, physiological role, fermentative production or isolation, purification, and applications."

"To cover all classes of the biopolymers within one text is a difficult task. However, the editors Alexander Steinbüchel and Robert H. Marchessault have undertaken this venture in a two-volume book with wonderful contributions by experts in the field. ... This is an ideal reference of biopolymers for both basic and applied science research laboratories. ... Overall, this two-volume text concentrating on biopolymers for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications is well organized by the editors and provides knowledgeable insight from many of the leaders in the field. ...the book is not only an excellent guidebook in technological aspects of biopolymers, but also a supreme teaching and reference book for graduate students and academic and industrial researchers who want to learn about biopolymers from discovery to application."

"... an ideal handbook to be found in libraries or mid-sized laboratories that are interested or active in this area." MRS Bulletin
"In conclusion, these volumes are highly useful and provide excellent information of the different aspects of biopolymers. These are highly recommended to all the individuals working in the chemistry, polymers, biotechnology, medical and pharmaceuticals."
Carbohydrate Polymers
"...what is offered with respect to polysaccharides and natural polyamides is indeed first rate. The literature cited is exhaustive, critical comments abound, and in vivo responses are covered and analyzed. For these reasons, I recommend this book most enthusiastically."
