title: Biodegradable, multi-layered coatings for controlled release of small molecules.
abstract: Incorporation of orthogonal functional groups into biodegradable polymers permits the fabrication of multi-layered thin films with improved adhesion and tunable degradation profiles. The bi-layer structure also allows for accurate control over small molecule release.
