Eggshell for Biomedical Applications is an authoritative exploration of eggshell's diverse biomedical uses. Offering a sustainable resource for biomaterials development, eggshell is an important natural alternative to traditional synthetic materials; this book reviews advances in this area and provides a holistic overview of the benefits and uses of eggshell for biomedical applications. This guide covers the unique properties of eggshell and eggshell membrane, such as high biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity, as well as a broad range of suitable biomedical applications, including drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing, and biosensors. The commercialization of eggshell products is explored, detailing new-to-market products as well as key patents. Eggshell for Biomedical Applications is of interest to researchers and academics in the fields of materials science, biomaterials, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and regenerative medicine.
