Özet:

By chemical bonds with the same or different atomic groups, more or regular long chain or branched high molecular weight compounds are formed, it referred to as polymers. The small molecular weight units used without starting the synthesis are termed “monomer”. Polymers properties, according to the monomer building blocks of, it varies greatly. For this reason, the proper selection of biomaterials for the application area should be done carefully. The polymers used, it must be questioned how efficient is. By this interrogation, more efficient polymers are obtained. When conducting a new polymer study, how to make the existing material more durable, healthy and biocompatible should be investigated. Treatment shapes and methods applied to the patient are subject to significant changes thanks to the developing technology and the scientific research done. Therefore, the biocompatibility of materials used as polymeric biomaterials should be investigated. Today, improved polymeric biomaterials, has many applications in the field of medicine. Many are as such as cell encapsulation, drug delivery, surface modification, enzyme immobilization, biosensors and chip-laboratories are used. In this study; information on the intended use of the polymeric biomaterials, their application area and biocompatibility. Polymeric biomaterials used in the human body, their mismatches over time, and recent developments in polymeric biomaterials.
