Biodegradable polymers and constructs: A novel approach in drug delivery
Abstract
Abstract New polymers are continuously developed for new therapeutic applications. New and modified polymer chemistries that offer distinctive degradation and drug delivery are being identified and evaluated simultaneously. Biodegradable polymers have profound applications in drug delivery. For attaining sustained and controlled drug delivery, these polymers are modified to develop drug carriers such as nanoparticles, microparticles, microspheres, and matrix devices etc. This review explains the use of biodegradable polymers and their drug delivery systems for local or targeted and controlled/sustained drug/gene delivery. It explicitly presents various types of biodegradable polymers, their properties, and characterization parameters along with their promising pharmaceutical as well as drug delivery applications.

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.
