Drug release mechanisms from bioerodible polymers for stent application
The effect of the chemical nature of the drug on matrix degradation and drug release behavior of degradable polymers was studied, using lidocaine as a model drug in base and salt forms. As matrices, a range of lactide/glycolide based polymers was studied, representing variation in composition, cryst...
