Medical applications of polymers

As an important material, polymer materials have played a huge role in various industrial fields after about half a century of development.
The polymer materials industry not only has to provide a large number of new products and materials for industrial and agricultural production and people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, but also to provide more and more effective high-performance structural and functional materials for the development of high technology.

Functional polymer materials is an emerging edge discipline involving a wide range of disciplines, including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, optics, electricity, structural chemistry, biochemistry, electronics, medicine and many other disciplines, and is an exceptionally active research field at home and abroad. The main reason why functional polymer materials have become an important research hotspot in materials disciplines at home and abroad is that they have unique "functions" that can be used to replace other functional materials and enhance or improve their performance, making them functional materials with completely new properties.

One is for artificial organs, such as heart valves, artificial kidneys, artificial skin, hernia patches, etc. The second is for medical devices, such as surgical sutures catheters, examination instruments, implantation devices, etc. Thirdly, it is used for drug additives Such as drug control release carrier, targeting materials, etc.

As the earliest, most widely used and largest material in biomedical materials, biopolymers are the most rapidly developing field, and have become a major part of modern medical materials, given their wide range of raw materials, the ability to change their structure through molecular design, high bioactivity and diverse material properties. They are mainly used in the following areas:

The application of polymer materials in water treatment
Polymer membrane materials to help water treatment technology polymer materials in the field of water resources An important application in the field of water resources is membrane water treatment technology. Membrane water treatment Membrane water treatment technology is an effective way to purify sewage and regenerate water resources, with high separation efficiency, low energy consumption, small footprint, simple process, easy operation and no pollution. It is characterised by high separation efficiency, low energy consumption, small footprint, simple process, easy operation and no pollution.

Polymer conductive materials in the wire and cable industry
Used as a semi-conductive shield for power cables to improve the distribution of electric fields; power cables and through-grounds power cable and through the outer sheath of the ground; self-contained heating cable semi-conducting The core of self-controlled heating cables, etc. Other semi-conducting shields are often used for cable joints and terminations. electrical self-adhesive tape, cable integrated waterproof layer with semi-conducting resistance water tape, etc. can also be are also classified as polymeric conductive materials.
