Meanings of base polymers in English

The cytotoxicity of starch- based polymers was investigated using different methodologies.

This work provides a facile path to add biodegradability into PC based polymers for further bio-applications.

The objectives of this study were to determine whether starch- based polymers and composites activated human neutrophils.

The adaptation of conventional methods or non-conventional processing techniques for processing scaffolds from natural origin based polymers is reviewed.

Starch based polymers have shown to perform better than poly-lactic acid based materials but there is still room for improvement.

Finally, the biological performance of tissue engineering constructs based on natural- based polymers is discussed, using several examples for different clinically relevant applications.

The rationale of this work is as follows-starchbased polymers have been proposed for use as tissue engineering scaffolds in several publications.

Alternatively, structural reformation of natural carbon precursor or phenol- based polymers using plasma-assisted surface treatment is also considered for the fabrication of OCNs.

Synthetic carbohydrate- based polymers, so-called glycopolymers, are emerging as important well-defined tools for investigating carbohydrate-based biological processes and for simulating various functions of carbohydrates.
