## Abstract A novel PLAβbased polymer containing reactive pendent ketone or hydroxyl groups was synthesized by the copolymerization of Lβlactide with __Ξ΅__βcaprolactoneβbased monomers. The polymer was activated with NPC, resulting in an amineβreactive polymer which was then cast into thin polymeric
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(lactic/glycolic acid) copolymers (PLGA) are biodegradable drug carriers of great importance, although successful pharmaceutical application requires adjustment of the surface properties of the polymeric drug delivery system to be compatible with the biological enviro
