Widely used in biomedical applications due to its biodegradable and biocompatible properties. Commonly employed in drug delivery systems, where it controls the release rate of therapeutic agents over time. Frequently used in the fabrication of microspheres and nanoparticles for targeted and sustained delivery of drugs, including anticancer and vaccine antigens. Used as a scaffold material in tissue engineering, supporting cell growth for regeneration of bone, cartilage, and skin. Found in absorbable sutures and surgical implants that degrade naturally in the body, eliminating the need for removal. Its degradation rate can be tuned by adjusting the monomer ratio, making it suitable for short-term to long-term medical devices.
