Poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers for use as drug delivery systems

Block copolymers of polylactide and poly( ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) were investigated as biodegradable drug delivery systems. They are defined by the differing molecular weight ratios of polylactide to poly( ethylene glycol). Copolymers containing more hydrophilic PEG than hydrophobic PLA per molec...
