Influence of Drug Incorporation on the Physico-Chemical Properties of Poly(<span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Lactide) Implant Coating Matrices—A Systematic Study

Local drug delivery has become indispensable in biomedical engineering with stents being ideal carrier platforms. While local drug release is superior to systemic administration in many fields, the incorporation of drugs into polymers may influence the physico-chemical properties of said matrix. Thi...
