Biodegradable materials created by the controlled ring opening polymerisation of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides and O-carboxyanhydrides

Polymeric materials are excellent candidates for use as biomaterials. They are often employed as drug carriers to provide protection to encapsulated therapeutic molecules against premature metabolism, inactivation and clearance, and to reduce drug leakage and burst release, in vivo. Although signifi...
