Methodologies in Polymeric Medication

  • Chapter
Polymeric Materials in Medication

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 32))

Abstract

The range of polymeric systems that can be used in medication is discussed. These approaches include controlled release devices (such as erodable systems, diffusion controlled systems, mechanical systems and microcapsules), biologically active polymers (such as natural polymers, synthetic polypeptides, pseudo-enzymes, pseudo-nucleic acids and polymeric drugs), and immobilized bioactive materials (such as immobilized enzymes, antibodies and other bioactive agents). Some illustrations of these methodologies are presented.
