title: Polymeric controlled release systems.
abstract: There are wide applications of great importance for the improved and efficient administration of many materials--particularly in the pharmaceutical area. The introduction of novel polymeric materials and related formulation technologies now provide a versatile means for the precisely controlled delivery of many physiologically active substances. A further advantage is a decrease in patient discomfort and compliance, and decreased side-effects.
