Abstract [eng] |
Polyurethane as a functional material has a wide application in many areas. This paper is designed to the application of polyurethanes in biochemical and biotechnological fields, concerning its biocompatibility and stability. The synthesis of different kinds of polyurethanes, their application for the immobilization of enzymes and whole cells, and their employment in the constructions of biosensors are reviewed. The basic concepts of such application are described. |
