✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The maximum steady state flux, diffusion coefficients, and solubilities of five contraceptive steroids in homopolymers and copolymers of ϵ‐caprolactone and DL‐lactic acid were determined. The permeabilities of polymers of ϵ‐caprolactone were comparable to silicone rubber and, by inference, are suitable for the construction of drug delivery devices. Poly(DL‐lactic acid) was 10^4^ times less permeable, although its permeability was significantly enhanced by additives.

Control of burst release is a major challenge in the development of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microparticle drug delivery systems. It has been well-documented in previous literature that formulation and processing variables determine particle morphology, which in turn, governs drug diffusivi
