Functional aliphatic polyesters are biodegradable polymers with many possibilities to tune
physico-chemical characteristics such as hydrophilicity and degradation rate as compared to …

Advanced drug delivery systems rely on the availability of biocompatible materials.
Moreover, biodegradability is highly desirable in the design of those systems. Consequently …

Nowadays the open and the patent literatures propose a large number of polymers whose
main chains can be degraded usefully. Among these degradable polymers, aliphatic …

A straightforward strategy is proposed for the derivatization of poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL).
First, statistical copolymerization of α-chloro-ε-caprolactone (αClεCL) with ε-caprolactone …

The recent trends in the synthesis of functional poly (ester) s by ring-opening polymerization
(ROP) are reviewed. While the use of ROP processes for the synthesis of poly (lactide), poly …

Nanoparticles (NPs) with high drug loading and pH-responsivity were prepared by
nanoprecipitation of a hydrophobic polymer-drug conjugate (PDC). The PDC, polylactide …

Synthetic biopolymers are attractive alternatives to biobased polymers, especially because
they rarely induce an immune response in a living organism. Poly ε-caprolactone (PCL) is a …

Two functionalized dilactones with protected hydroxyl groups, benzyloxymethyl methyl
glycolide (4a) and benzyloxymethyl glycolide (4b), were synthesized and converted to the …

The purpose of this study was to assess the biodegradation of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and
some plasticized PLA based systems by Trichoderma viride fungus, in liquid medium and …

Functional polylactide-g-paclitaxel–poly (ethylene glycol), a novel graft polymer–drug
conjugate (GPDC) with paclitaxel (PTXL) as the divalent agent to bridge between the …
