## Abstract Utilization of polymers as biomaterials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Specifically, polymeric biomaterials that are biodegradable provide the significant advantage of being able to be broken down and removed after they have served their function. Applications
Commercially available synthetic biodegradable polymers had been limited to aliphatic polyesters until polyesters containing aromatic moieties recently appeared on the market. Currently, several different types of biodegradable polymers have been developed and are being evaluated for practical uses.
Highly porous biocompatible and biodegradable polymers in the form of cylindrical disks of 13.5 m m diameter were implanted in the mesentery of male syngeneic Fischer rats for a period of 35 days t o study the dynamics of tissue ingrowth and the extent of tissue vascularity, and t o explore their po
