A new thermosensitive hydrogel was designed and prepared by simply mixing N- [(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium) propyl] chitosan chloride (HTCC) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with a small amount of a-b-glycerophosphate (a-b-GP). The optimum preparative condition was investigated, and the obtained fo
A temperature-and pH-responsive drug delivery system was studied by using interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels constructed with poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The release of indomethacin incorporated into these hydrogels showed pulsatile patterns in response to
An implant may release a drug either by diffusion concurrent with dissolution of the polymeric implant material without depolymerization (Type A) or by bioerosion involving depolymerization (Type B). The Type A material may induce immune response, while the erosion of Type B polymer releases fragmen
