Biopolymers for 3D Tissue Engineering: Processing and Applications explores the critical role of biopolymers in advancing tissue engineering and 3D cell culture--key technologies in drug discovery, personalized medicine, and disease treatment. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the structure, properties, and processability of biopolymers with a focus on innovative techniques for converting them into functional scaffolds suitable for 3D cell culture. Sections cover carbohydrates, proteins, and synthetic biopolymers in a single, authoritative source, making it invaluable for students, researchers, professionals, and industry stakeholders.

As scaffolds form the foundation of these applications, current options--primarily synthetic polymers like polypropylene, polyethylene, or polystyrene, and some natural materials such as collagen and silk fibroin--are often expensive and lack optimal properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical stability. This book addresses the global effort to develop next-generation scaffolds that overcome these limitations. As biopolymers offer a compelling solution, with inherent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and sustainability, this book guides on the latest technologies and innovations.
