Part 35: Plastics-General Test Methods; Nomenclature, Philadelphia: ASTM, pp. 1091-1094. K. Introduction Over the past two decades there has been a rapidly growing interest in the use of biodegradable polymers for biomedical applications. These applications include sutures, tissue and bone repair scaffolds, drug delivery systems. Biodegradable polymers are materials which, in a biological environment, degrade to small fragments.
Data relevant to the physical-chemical properties of the starting poly(MAn-al-PegnVE) and related methyl hemiesters are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. 2In DMSO at 30°C. Page 17 Combinations of these hemiesters with human serum albumin (HSA) gave transparent, flexible and coherent films with a marked hydrogel character and safely passed preliminary in vitro and in vivo toxicity tests. A low temperature casting procedure was used for the fabrication of polymeric inserts suitable for the controlled release of a-interferon.
