Recent Advances in Functional Adhesives for Biomedical Applications explores the critical role of rapid tissue management in cases of trauma, accidents, and surgical procedures. Traditional suturing techniques, although widely used, can be time-consuming, uncomfortable, and damaging to delicate tissues, requiring skilled professionals. This book examines the emergence of tissue adhesives as viable alternatives, discussing their limitations and the ongoing research to create improved functional adhesives. These developments aim to offer safer, more effective solutions for tissue repair and wound management in healthcare settings.

Beyond the advancements in adhesive technology, the book provides a comprehensive overview of historical developments and current market trends in tissue adhesive use. It delves into the underlying chemistry of tissue adhesion, offering readers a deeper understanding of how these materials interact with biological tissues. Additionally, the book reviews various types of functional tissue adhesives designed for multifunctional applications, detailing their specific biomedical uses.
