## Abstract Semi‐crystalline AB‐copolymer networks from oligo[(__ε__‐caprolactone)‐__co__‐glycolide]dimethacrylates and __n__‐butylacrylate have recently been shown to exhibit a shape‐memory functionality, which may be used for self‐deploying and anchoring of implants. In this study, a family of su
Drug release was controlled by a combination of prodrug and polymer matrix. Prodrugs of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine with different physicochemical properties were synthesized by esterification with aliphatic acids (propionate, n-butyrate, and n-pentanoate). Microspheres containing these ester prodrugs
