Aliphatic polyesters and cellulose-based polymers for controlled release applications.
The general technologies for fabricating drug delivery systems are briefly discussed in the present review. Furthermore, two types of commonly used polymers, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters for parenteral administration and cellulose-based polymers for oral uses, are presented by means of selected examples of their properties and applications to control drug release.
