Biodegradable polymers—an overview
Abstract
The revelation of biodegradable polymers dates back to many years ago. From then, their emergence leads to the surge of many biomaterials applicable in various fields like controlled drug delivery, regenerative medicine, orthopedic and long‐term implants which proved out to be momentous contributions of these materials. The immense effort and investigation kept on these materials are reflected by significant upsurge of the biodegradable polymer‐based marketed products and ongoing clinical trials of these materials. The synthetic versatility and flexible features of these polymers to get custom designed in accordance with need make them attractive for various therapeutic strategies. Long‐term biocompatibility and avoidance of surgery to remove implants are the main advantages of biodegradable materials over biostable polymers by which the former stand in for various indications over the latter. This review gives an overview on various biodegradable polymers with details on properties, mode of degradation and the potential biomedical applications associated with them.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
