Biomaterials a term is used to describe the materials which are typically derived from any biological source. In generally it is said that these are the materials which are used within the human body to perform certain functions such as therapies1. The applications of polymers in the field of medicine have already gave birth to polymer science as a field. As we can see today, almost every polymer have been reported for use in any kind of clinical intervention, they are inseparable part of us now. Polymers are key players in clinical medicine as they are fundamental components of permanent prosthetic devices such as diameter vascular grafts, artificial lenses, catheters, hip implants etc., and the research is continued to perfect the performance and stability of polymers in vitro and in vivo2.

However, the use of polymers in surgery is somewhat confined to connective tissue replacements. Interestingly, polymers have opened new horizons for drug delivery and gene therapy treatments such as nucleic-acid based drugs and protein-based drugs which cannot be taken up as typical pills, are providing impulsion for contemporary implantable polymers. The applications of polymers in tissue engineering are also gaining spotlight as these materials helps in the regeneration of 3D- reedimensional) organ and tissue structures1.
