New models are developed to account for the kinetics of drug release from porous, biodegradable polymeric microspheres under the schemes of bulk erosion and surface erosion of the polymer matrix, respectively. Three mechanisms of drug release, namely, drug diffusion, drug dissolution, and polymer er
Protein microencapsulation in biodegradable polymers is a promising route to provide for sustained release. One important characteristic in this regard is the size of the particles encapsulated within the microspheres. In this investigation, we have employed spray-freeze drying to generate particles
## Abstract This article describes the effects of six processing parameters on the release kinetics of a model drug Texas red dextran (TRD) from poly(propylene fumarate)/poly(lacticβ__co__βglycolic acid) (PPF/PLGA) blend microspheres as well as the degradation of these microspheres. The microsphere
## Abstract The ideal biomaterial for the repair of bone defects is expected to have good mechanical properties, be fabricated easily into a desired shape, support cell attachment, allow controlled release of bioactive factors to induce bone formation, and biodegrade into nontoxic products to permi
