What Types of Biodegradable Polymers are Commonly Used?
Common biodegradable polymers used in nanotechnology include poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), and their copolymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). These polymers are favored for their well-characterized degradation profiles and biocompatibility. Other examples include chitosan, alginate, and polycaprolactone (PCL), which offer unique properties for various applications.
