Biodegradable Polymers: An Important Polymer in Drug Delivery System: A Short Review
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Biodegradable polymers are designed to degrade upon disposal by the action of living organisms. The biodegradability of a given polymeric material is defined by the chemical structure of the polymer. The following review presents an overview on Biodegradable polymers in pharmaceutical drug delivery of therapeutic agents. In recent years significant advances have been made in the development of biodegradable polymeric materials for biomedical applications. There are mainly two classes of Biodegradable polymers that can be distinguished into synthetic and natural polymers. Biodegradable polymers have been mainly used as Compostable plastics, Bio-erodable, Bioplastics in packaging, agriculture, medicine and other areas. In the biomedical area they are generally used as implants because of their biocompatibility and biodegradability and are supposed to give long term service. This review article focuses on the different biodegradable polymers that are currently being used, their properties as well as various developments in their applications.
