Bioresorbable Polymers   Bioresorbable P olymers in general have a wide range of uses, but none is as varied and interesting as the area of pharmaceuticals. These versatile materials can be found in everything from plastics to synthetic rubbers, and in a huge variety of sizes and chemical makeup. In the area of pharmaceuticals, however, these polymers can be used in many different ways to produce medicines and other pharmaceutical products. For instance, in August 2021, Benvic Europe acquired the U.S.-based polymer maker, Chemres, to venture into the U.S. medical sector and develop innovative clinical solutions. A Bioresorbable Polymers is naturally biocompatible; however, it undergoes a type of biodegradation. This enables for pharmaceutical applications in which the material is meant to be absorbable and metabolized by the human body. Many a time these polymer materials will pass through the stomach and kidneys without being broken down, but other times, such as with physical ab...

  Isoprene is a monomer found in natural rubber and is also a common structure in a wide variety of other natural compounds, collectively called terpenoids. Isoprene Monomer is widely used in the production of polyisoprene (synthetic rubber). It is also used to manufacture various copolymers, such as isobutylene, butadiene, styrene, and others. Moreover, Isoprene Monomer is used in the production of medical equipment, sports equipment, conveyer belt, electric wire and cable, etc. Thus, there is an increasing demand for isoprene, worldwide. Furthermore, over the years, demand for Isoprene Monomer has increased due to the increasing demand for natural or synthetic rubber worldwide. According to the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC World), in 2019, the top importers of synthetic rubber were China (US$ 6.42 billion), Germany (US$ 1.21 billion), United States (US$ 1.51 billion), Thailand (US$ 1.04 billion), and Malaysia (US$ 1.19 billion). Synthetic rubber can be ...
