Bioactive Polymeric Systems, An Overview

  • Chapter

Abstract

The breadth of the bioactive polymeric systems is illustrated in this chapter. The area includes controlled-release systems, such as erodible systems, diffusion-controlled systems, mechanical systems, and microcapsules. Bioactive polymeric systems would also include biologically active polymers, such as natural polymers, synthetic polypeptides, pseudoenzymes, pseudonucleic acids, and polymeric drugs. In addition, the area can include immobilized bioactive materials, such as immobilized enzymes, antibodies, and other bioactive agents. Some potential examples of these systems and approaches are given.
