DEGRADEABLE ELASTOMERIC NETWORK

摘要

In accordance one aspect of the invention, there is provided a degradable/ biocompatible elastomer. The elastomer comprises a degradable cross-linked network of a hydrophobic, hydrolysable amorphous star polymer and a hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer. The network may be crosslinked thermally or by irradiation. In a preferred embodiment, the elastomer is used for a drug delivery system, and is particularly useful for delivery of peptide and protein drugs.
