Polymers in Biotechnology, Medicine and Health
Polymers used in biotechnology and medicine as macromolecules that undergo fast and reversible changes from hydrophilic to hydrophobic microstructure triggered by small changes in their environments. These microscopic changes are apparent at the macroscopic level as precipitate formation in solutions of smart polymers or changes in the wettability of a surface to which a smart polymer is grafted. The changes are reversible, and the system returns to its initial state when the trigger is removed.
Polymers application is represented in all areas of human activity and everyday life. Therefore it is important to know their impact on human health. Polymers are mostly used as wrapping materials in construction industry. The main disadvantage of plasticmaterials is their variable transmission for light, gases and steam, as well as softening in high temperatures. Knowledge of kinds and possible harmful effects on human health is imperative in the choice and use of certain types of polymers. Special attention must be taken in food industry.
